Elizabethan Supportasses

Hanging out with Michael Keaton:

This is our beloved customer, Erin, sporting her new VMS supportasse and standing ruff. Every year I urge her to enter a Halloween contest (so she can win back some of the investment money!) This year she finally took my advice, entered a contest..... AND WON $300 FOR BEST COSTUME!

After the contest, she was walking around the city and this handsome gentleman walked up to her to tell her that her costume was one of the best he's ever seen. She asked if she could have her picture taken with him, and here is the photo - YES, THAT'S MICHAEL KEATON!!!!! (AKA Batman, Mr. Mom, Beetlejuice, etc!)

Supportasse: This is a stiffened supportasse, with a padded collar that ties inside your bodice at the back. We added stitched lacing holes to the front and back of the supportasse for you to use to attach to tabs you will need to sew inside your gown. Ideally, you should send us your bodice to have the supportasse custom-fitted to your garment. Or, have us make a bodice for you.

Your neck ruff will need to be attached to your gown with either pins, snaps or Velcro once you receive it and can fit it to your gown. The ruff is affixed to a satin ribbon, which you will need to attach to your bodice at the ends.

(Please note that this particular lace in the photos is a modern lace and not a historically accurate lace. We are in the process of entirely redsigning our line of neck ruffs to reflect a more accurate look)

Supportasse, large or small: $150
