This is very well constructed and true to size. Like others have said, the material is thicker than I thought it would be, but it added structure to the overdress in a very appealing way. I will definitely be ordering more from Burgschneider.
Arrived quicker than expected. Superior quality. Perfect underdress for any overdress. Fit is perfect. I will definitely be ordering from this company again!!
I am 5'9". The sleeves are 4" too short before washing and the skirt is about 6". It wouldn't be so bad if the Isabella Surcot wasn't also way too short. The cotton is breathable which I appreciate. Chest measurements are accurate. Overall not a bad under dress. But compared to the blue Rus dress it was disappointing.
A substantial garment in terms of material heft. Taller girls, rejoice!...cuz if you're shorter than 5'6' ish, it may need hemming if you wear flat shoes. This is a versatile piece, whether under a Viking apron dress, as an underdress with a linen or wool over gown/tunic in cooler weather -- or simply worn on its own, with or without a belt (unlike lighter fabrics such as a muslin chemise - this garment is not see through at all.) This is a nicely made and affordable wardrobe piece.
Perfect! Shift fit well and the quality is great.
