Dress was made by myself and worn for one full-time season on cast at the Bristol Renaissance Faire as Mary Cavendish, Lady Talbot with the group of St. George on Queen Elizabeth I Court.

In the nature of the embellishments of a piece such as this, it is recommended to be spot cleaned as needed, and is sold as is with some wear and dusting from being on the grounds throughout the season. 

(Chemise, ruff, farthingale, corset, hat, bumroll, and mini portrait are not included) 

Hat is available sold separately
