"The Lady Of The Lake" Fairy Costume

The "Lady of the Lake" includes:

Full tiered ruffle skirt
Smocked Sorceress chemise
Steel-Boned corset


While The Lady of the Lake is human, she is a Water Fairie and enchantress who possesses great powers of sorcery learned from the magician Merlin himself. She was King Arthur's benefactress protecting him with her powers and magic throughout his many daring adventures. She is said to live in a castle beneath a lake surrounding the Isle Of Avalon. Mystical and Mythical, The Lady of the Lake gave King Arthur Excalibur, which kept him from harm in battle.


ABOUT THE COSTUME:

THE CORSET
The steel spiral boned under bust corset gives an amazing waistline shape without sacrificing comfort since spiral bones are flexible and is patterned in an almost watercolor spring floral. Ivory satin trim and a ribbon lacing complete this feminine piece.
Rigid boning where necessary for support and that look that only a professional corset can give.
Ivory colored satin ribbon with grommets in the back offer great flexibility in sizing with the added modesty panel.
Busk front closure.
This is not one of those flimsy dime a dozen generic corsets made nowadays by the fast fashion industry with cheap materials and craftmanship that cheapens your look.
This is a professional corset/cincher made to last for many years if well taken care of as traditional clothing used to be when we lived a less wasteful time.

THE DRESS:
The dress includes two pieces:
A full circle ruffle skirt which together with our Sorceress chemise gives a fullness to the costume and provides such a beautiful, layered look that fits well the enchantress it represents!


*Does not include headdress nor wings.
