The Caravan/Ethnic Collection / Bethany Dress

The Crusaders of the 11th century brought clothing back from the Holy Land that was to influence Medieval European dress for centuries. Wideflowing sleeves, threads of gold, and woven bands of colorful silk are mentioned in knightly lore and are still found in this wedding dress of Bethany.

The Quabbeh, or bodice panel, is elaborately decorated with couching, satin stitch, faggoting, applique, and other embroidery sttiches. The full-size bodice design is accurately diagrammed and pattern instructions include complete details about stitches and required materials.

The loose-fitting dress fits most sizes, with variations in length, and easily cut from the layout diagram, Its rectangular panels can be easily widened for added girth, as needed. The wide, flaring sleeves are worn both wrist length or above the wrist, and are traditionally tied in back when greater freedom of movement is required. Misses Petite 5'-5'3", Average 5'4"-5'7", Tall 5'8"-5'11"
