  • Classic Early 19th Century Dress Style
  • Made at Townsends
  • Available in a Variety of Colors

This dress is based on examples from around 1810. Its squared, slightly gathered neckline and short gathered sleeves are true to the period. The high under-the-bust waist is classic Empire. Both the neckline and waist are tied in back. The bodice is closed in back with bone buttons.

Because undergarment styles were extremely diverse during the Empire period, we have settled the issue for this dress by fully lining the bodice. The skirt is lined to about 36" from the underbust, which emulates the knee-length chemises occasionally worn during the period. The subtle back train gives the skirt a graceful, sweeping hemline.

Clothing styles took a dramatic twist at the turn of the 19th century. The Empire dress was a prime example of this French fashion invasion, based on that society’s fascination with the ancient cultures of Greece. As the Empire style made its first foray into British societies, fabrics were very wispy and somewhat transparent, revealing the female form that had previously been revered with utmost modesty. Prudish reactions were strong. As a result, this very short-lived fashion period went through even shorter phases delineated by fabric choices and undergarments (or most often, the lack thereof).

Instant Tan and Beautiful Glow — Just Apply Carefully! 🌴✨
Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush
I really love this Maui Babe Browning Lotion! It gives you a noticeably darker, sun-kissed tan after just one use it truly works fast. The color payoff is beautiful, and it leaves your skin looking radiant and glowing. The only thing to be careful about is that if it gets on your hands, clothes, or bathing suit, it can leave a mark. I recommend applying it carefully and washing your hands right after. I’ve purchased this twice already because I love the results. Definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a quick, natural-looking tan!

Really works.
Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush
This is the only lotion that has ever made me hold color! I love that it comes with the brush because the lotion itself is kind of greasy but the brush makes it much easier to rub in!

Works great but oily & messy
Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush
Works great. You look tanner as soon as you put it on. Very oily and messy. Can leak out of lid even when lid looks closed.

This product is all you need
Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush
I am a year round tanner but use this on vacations. Recently I had surgery and had to stop tanning, 2 months in of no sun or tanning bed exposure I was looking pasty. Summer just hit and I spent 3 days sunbathing for about 60-80 minutes and got a solid beautiful tan! I have olive skin that tans well, although I didn't burn at all I recommended monitoring the time you spend in the sun and maybe wear sunscreen as a base. The brush is nice but I find I needed to use a lot more product vs when I apply with my hands. I do intend on using the brush if I ever need to apply a spray tan.

Great item, poor packaging.

I love this product, but the last bottle I received had a crack in the bottle and made a total mess of everything. To return it, I had to send back the leaking bottle that had already made a terrible mess on my counter and table and I threw it away.
