Often called a \"chemise gown\" to satirize its scandalous brevity and lack of undergarments, it reflected a desire to return to simpler, classical Grecian dress after the excesses of the European nobility and patriot alike.  Its peak of popularity was during the \"First Empire\" period (1799-1815); hence its name.  It was worn floor length or as high as knee length in front; trains were also worn for day or evening until 1806.  The Empire Dress has remained a favorite fashion silhouette through today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folkwear Patterns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48460168102133,"sku":"215","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2259\/4551\/files\/215-Empire-Dress-rev_300x_c7e1b7c5-2686-422b-913b-881bcc4581a8.webp?v=1784752231","url":"https:\/\/stitchesseattle.com\/products\/empire-dress-pattern-215-sm-3xl","provider":"Stitches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
