Fantasy Elven Dress “Water Flowers”
Elven princess dress with faux pearls, pleats and beading
Time passes easily here. Ripples float from the boat to the shore, lapping against the overgrown moss of the riverbank like a metronome. The sun is gentle, blocked mostly by the weeping limbs of the trees stretching protectively over the water. As seconds slip away, you would give anything you have to spend an eternity here with her airy smile. Days with her are fleeting yet timeless, and moments in the filtered light of the willows are warmer than any summer.
Our “Water Flowers” collection is inspired by medieval clothing, elvish imagery, mythology, as well as Art Nouveau. The spirit of the collection evokes a sense of relaxed romance and reminds us of afternoons spent in the shade of our favorite tree, swimming in the local lake, or going for a stroll along a mossy riverbank. The designs are feminine, fitted and airy, and are made to emphasize the beauty of the wearer with soft colors, flattering silhouettes, draping skirts, adjustable lacing, and of course gorgeous details.
This particular dress takes inspiration from medieval elements, but overall is fantasy in design. As with most of our bestselling garments, we have taken our favorite parts of history and fused them with current design to create something that looks medieval but flatters the modern figure. A wide scooped neckline gives way to an ornate pleated bodice, complete with lacing at the sides to make sure you can get the best fit possible. The sleeves start with a high puff and are finished fitted below that, with lacing for adjustment. The skirt of the dress is voluminous and drapes to the floor, and the whole look is completed with a beautiful matching line of accessories.
Instead of heavy structured cotton, we chose to make this dress from thinner cotton poplin, which as a nice drape to it and falls beautifully. The cotton is opaque but light and has a wonderful soft texture to it which looks excellent in the colors available. This cotton is accented with a bold trim made by our talented designers after lots of research into the shapes and forms of water flowers and art nouveau motifs. You’ll find this trim at the neckline, around the lacing at the sleeves and the hem.
This dress is just bursting with little details that will amaze you. All along the perfectly gathered neckline, you’ll find hand-stitched faux pearls. Going down the pleats both at the front of the bodice and at the puffed sleeves are tiny little beads. It has been expertly finished with strong stitching, nice seams, and lots of other techniques that have taken a lifetime to master. This dress is gorgeous inside out and we know that you'll love it!
Please note: the belt is not included as well as other items at the photos but they are available in our store. The listing is for the dress only.

This dress is beautiful! The craftsmanship is simply amazing and it arrived faster than expected. Looks exactly like the pictures! Only thing is it does pinch my shoulders a little, so just a warning for my fellow broad shouldered ladies (I got a stock dress, a custom dress may fit better!).

I just received my custom-made dress for my medieval-themed vow renewal this April. We are celebrating our 25 anniversary. I am so pleased with my dress. I can not wait till April! The renewal will be at a castle here in North Georgia.

The item exceeded expectations. The color is a little more vibrant than in the picture and it fits well. I was most amazed by the texture of the cotton used for the garment. Also, I received it a lot sooner than expected so that was great too :)

We received the dresses in plenty of time to get married in them! Both of our dresses were from the Water Flower collections. The dresses were gorgeous and very well made! We got a lot of compliments on them and everyone wanted to know where we got them from! I would have loved to added pictures here but unfortunately the picture sizes were too large.

The dress was exactly what I wanted. It is the second dress I've purchased from Armstreet and they have become my top source of renaissance faire wear! I received so many compliments on this gown that I didn't want to take it off :) It is comfortable, well constructed, delicate, and fit true to size. Thank you for making such high quality garments!

I absolutely love the dress I bought. I've never been so comfortable and felt so "royal" at my local renaissance festival. I've already ordered another one! The sizing was true to the size chart. The quality is amazing.

Just received this gown, and I am in love! Armstreet quality is always fantastic. The details on this dress make it so charming. The seed beads and pearls on the bodice are the perfect amount of embellishment. The pleated puff sleeves are adorable. The lacing on the sides and sleeves make it easy to adjust the size, not to mention dress myself. LOVE IT!!! Can't wait for the next event so I can show it off.

Olga worked with me on short notice to get my dress in time for my neighbor's daughter's princess party. The dress really is stunning! There is a ton of detail, and it's meticulously made. I ordered the "water flowers" dress in a size zero, and I was a little worried about it being too small, but it's very adjustable. I'm a busty size zero, and there was no issue with for me whatsoever, but if you are small chested it will work as well! If you have broad shoulders it may be tighter in the armpit area, but the bust and the waist are VERY adjustable. The ties on the side allow you to fit the dress to your shape really comfortably, the arm ties do the same. The person who designed this dress, knows their stuff, in terms of both design and fit. If you're on the fence, go for it. Thank you so much Olga!!

I see no chemise is associated with this dress, and I don't think the models are wearing one - what underdress would you recommend for this one, considering its shape and look?
This dress is meant to be worn without any chemise.
I’m 163cm tall but I have quite a short torso/high waist, so while the skirt length may actually be perfect, I’m certain the bodice may be too long. As such, is it possible to create a custom order with the torso shortened at all? Thanks for your help!
Hello Briley, yes it is possible for custom order, but we would like to assure you that lacing on the sides help to adjust the silhouette and the dress will fit well.
