Looking for a practical new dress for basic, camp or work wear, this Day wrapper may just be what you are looking for.

NO-it is not a wrapper in the sense of a morning robe, but a dress that can be worn either as a basic work dress or when accessorized with a pretty collar and fancy belt can be “dressed up” for the look of a day or better dress. By definition a wrapper was a garment which flows from the shoulders. Our dress features a fully lined bodice with a fitted back and a skirt that has adequate circumference to be worn with or without a hoop skirt. Fabric is pleated at the shoulders giving the garment a wonderful fullness in the bust and waist making it truly adjustable. This fullness is arranged in the front and held in place with a belt, giving the dress a slightly fan-front or gathered bodice look depending on how the fullness is arranged. This loose fitting makes the garment adjustable for maternity wear as well. This style was worn from the 1840’s thru the 1870’s. This outfit would be appropriate for Civil War reenactments as well as other mid 1800’s events such as Dickens or Christmas Fairs, fur trade rendezvous or wagon train (Prairie) events. It would also be a good outfit for historical sites.

This dress is shown with a hoop skirt and a pretty collar and broach. These items are NOT included but are offered in other listings.

This style is very user friendly. It fits comfortably and with the button-front bodice is easy to put on and take off. It does not require understructures such as a corset or working stays to achieve its period look. The only undergarment recommended is a petticoat (we suggest a corded petticoat for ease of movement).

A garment you will always have a use for. The styling allows the dress to adjust to your chosen persona. This garment will serve you well—money well spent. All in all a great addition to your reenacting wardrobe.

Only for the pale skinned ones
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great coverage and texture! However, it left a white cast over olive toned skin. I looked sick. But looked perfect on my pasty redhead daughter.

Great everyday sunscreen
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Really impressed with this sunscreen. It’s a bit thick going on, but a little goes a long way. Once applied, it feels lightweight, not greasy or oily at all. Provides great coverage and protection, definitely a great product I’ll keep using.

The BEST sunscreen I've found
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my MUST HAVE sunscreen. I've had almost every type of skin cancer (thankfully, caught early), so I NEED good sun protection, especially on my face. I have very fair skin. This product leaves a bit of a white cast, but after a short period of time, that white case is absorbed. The white cast of a mineral sunscreen might look chalky on a person with darker skin. The BEST thing about this sunscreen is I can put it on my eyelids and under my eyes, it doesn't irritate my eyes AT ALL. The other well-known sunscreen I used for a long time really made my eyes sting if a bit got into them. This is my favorite sunscreen of all time.

Solid mineral SPF with light coverage effect
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’m used to La Roche-Posay’s chemical sunscreens, so this was my first time trying their mineral version. The texture is actually quite nice for a mineral formula. It spreads evenly and doesn’t feel gritty or chalky. That said, it does take a bit longer to fully absorb compared to chemical SPFs. I’m already very pale, and I still notice a slight white cast. It’s not extreme, but it’s there. To be fair, most mineral sunscreens tend to do this, especially those using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Interestingly, on my skin it almost behaves like a very light tinted sunscreen. It slightly blurs and softens the appearance of minor blemishes and redness, which I appreciate on minimal-makeup days. It provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection and feels gentle on sensitive skin. I haven’t experienced irritation, pilling, or breakouts. It layers reasonably well over moisturizer but benefits from being applied in thin, well-blended layers, which adds some time to my morning routine so it's a little inconvenient. Overall, it’s a solid mineral option with good protection. Just expect a bit more blending time and a subtle cast.

Great for pregnancy (or regular use)
Style: SPF 50, Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I searched far and wide for a safe mineral-based sunscreen for pregnancy. I settled on this one and I was not disappointed. It saved my skin from a lot of sunburn this summer! As other reviewers mentioned, it is harder to rub into the skin and can leave a whiteish tint, but that’s a small price to pay for a pregnancy-safe option.
