Authentic handmade cape/modesty dresses handmade in Lancaster Pennsylvania Dutch Country
Cape dresses are some of the most modest dresses to be found in the world
Cape dresses (modesty dresses) are designed to conceal the figure better than modern dresses.
They do a great job hiding the front and back of the upper body and body lines.
Feminine and comfortable to wear while helping to protect from unwanted attention
Please Measure as I do to get the correct fit
Lay a dress that fits you well flat
Measure underarm to underarm take the number you get times 2 for bust line
Side to side times 2 for the waistline
From the center of the shoulder seam down to the waistline for shoulder to waistline
Measuring from the top waistline to the bottom of the dress for the waistline to hem
Side to side 9" down from the waistline, times 2 for hips
Please be sure to measure!
These Authentic Mennonite or Amish dresses are all handmade with no size tags, care directions or fabric-type labels. I attempt my best guess as to the fabric contented every dress is unique
Colors may not be exactly as seen on your computer due to different monitor manufacturers and color settings
I have adjusted the photograph color and brightness settings so they are displayed as closely as possible on my computer screen. Again, this may not match your computer screen exactly
The Amish believe they need four dresses: One for wash, one for wear, one for dress, and one for spare
