“Princess in Exile” dress
Beautifully cut elegant cotton dress
Despite what some may claim, an exiled princess is still a princess. Nobility is not about the fleeting things: flaunted luxury, superficial loyalties… nobility is something more, found in the flawless poise of the leading class. It is an ability to hold one’s head high as well as maintain dignity and self-esteem regardless of circumstances. In harsh conditions, however, one must adapt. As the princess flees the kingdom she knows she must wear a garment that is equally beautiful and practical – standards must not fall simply because one is in exile.
This is a dress of reliable, simple and practical design, crafted from fine materials. As the princess sits by a campfire in a cold forest, embarks on a long trip on horseback and navigates a busy marketplace, she is equally comfortable in her clothing. While her spirit may be dampened, the crestfallen princess is held up by suitable clothing that leaves no doubts as to who she is. The elegance of the trim shows her unparalleled sense of taste whilst not appearing tacky – the refined appearance is firm evidence of her high status.
Our simple cotton fabric is used as the main material, which makes the dress more versatile. The trim around the plunging neckline, sleeves and bottom of the dress adds an exquisite air of nobility. This dress is made to make everyone look like a princess: a side-lacing bodice gently hugs the wearer's figure for a perfect fit and flatters every silhouette. Puffed sleeves are one of the distinctive features that makes the dress recognizable, and well-fitted buttoned sleeves guarantee practicality in various occasions.
This dress is a part of our well-proven “Princess” series. We experimented with color combinations and finishing, and in this case we really like the outcome. Do you? Share your thoughts! Please note, that chemise is not included, but available in our store.

This is the most beautiful dress I've ever put on. The quality is amazing and it fits beautifully. The only problem I encountered was that the sleeves were very tight and I am unable to close the buttons there. I have rather slender arms so it's strange that I cannot close them without feeling uncomfortable. I'm sure I can find a way around this issue somehow. Still a great buy!

Ashley 15 of July 2023:This dress is beautiful. I got it for my engagement photos, and they turned out beautiful. I highly recommend this dress! It looks stunning on everyone! I felt like a real princess!

I love this dress though I may have been off on the size. My chest is 35, waist is 30, biceps is 11, and wrist is 6.5. Essentially my chest and biceps are size 2, but my waist was borderline size 2 and 4, while my wrists are size 4. I ordered a size 4 to be safe, but it is pretty lose on me in the torso area. I can pinch about 1-2 inches of fabric along my torso with the laces pulled tight. I think I should have ordered a size 2. Nonetheless, I think this is something I can easily fix with a bodice and padded bra (lol), or I can clasp the fabric tight along the back. As others have said, its a thick fabric and pretty heavy, but its amazing quality, well worth the price, I absolutely love it, and the burgundy color is beautiful! The good thing about it being loose is that I should be able to wear it for a long time.

This is a very beautifully designed dress. But it is heavy, material is cotton and this is a very heavy dress, like 10-15 pounds of dress heavy. Perfect for colder weather.

Blue 02 of January 2022:
I’ve been dreaming of ordering this dress for some time, and it’s everything I hoped for. Beautiful quality from top to bottom, shipping was within the time they promised, and I cannot wait to wear it for the new renn faire season

Vicki Crowther 04 of December 2021:
The dress is spectacular, as usual. The fabric and workmanship couldn’t be better. I can certainly appreciate that women back then needed help getting in and out of their clothing.

Sherry 20 of July 2021:
It was quite difficult for me to put on and take off the dress, but the look was gorgeous. It was delicately made and the fabric was strong. The red was darker than I expected but still beautiful. I look forward to wearing it out one day!

Brooke Winn 16 of June 2021:
To say I am in love is an understatement! I will have a better photo, but couldn’t wait to try it on when it came in today! Fits like a glove and is the most beautiful dress I have owned. Olga was incredible with communication and my package came in even sooner than expected! Beautiful material and craftsmanship. I have been eyeing this dress for 2 years, I am so happy I finally decided to pull the trigger!

Katalin Végh 03 of March 2021:
Fits well, but it's a bit difficult to put on if you aren't experienced with laces. It is very strong and well made. Can't wait to wear it on our medieval style wedding.

Judith Stormcrow 16 of November 2020:
A stunning, well made dress! They forgot to send me the track and trace so it arrived as a suprise. The fabric is heavy and so is the dress, It's a tight fit, especially at the arms, so when you give your sizes to them, consider adding a cm to your wrist size. But its expertly made, I don't feel like I have to be afraid it is gonna rip. It's also very slimming so if you have a wee tummy like me, it totally smoothes that over

Phillip 16 of May 2020:Unfortunately, since the day I purchased this dress, I haven't yet had the opportunity to wear it out. Which is a shame, because it's absolutely gorgeous! Especially with the wonderfully full skirt, I do feel like an actual princess! I do hope to be able to get to at least one event this season wearing this absolute beauty. While the dress fits very well as it is, the side lacings give the dress just that little extra maneuvering space to make the ~perfect~ fit. And the color of the fabric is just divine! Thank you so much!
-
Jasmin 14 of May 2020:I really love this dress a lot and it fits really well. I think the only thing 'bothering' me is that the buttons on the sleeves are made of plastic, but that's just nitpicking. this was my first armstreet dress and it made me fall on love. I just keep twirling in it, because the skirt is so wide and flows beautifully!

So beautiful and expertly tailored.

A Fairbanks 24 of November 2019:
It's perfect. I ordered the Princess in Exile dress, chemise, belt, and bodice. It fits exceptionally well. The quality is superb. I'm sure I'll use this again, and maybe the generation after me will as well. The customer service was excellent; I had a deadline and received it on time. Thanks, beautiful work.

Adina Fuzzi 15 of November 2019:
I love the dress and it is well made. I bought this dress as a gift and will be sending it to my Granddaughter for the Holidays, she will just love it as it was one of the items on her wish list.

It was a pleasure working with Armstreet, they were very attentive to our requests . Everything shipped in a timely manner and everything fits perfectly! We are very excited to use this for our wedding! I highly recommend them! Thank you!

Ashlee Hawksworth 06 of May 2019:
I ordered this dress and right from the beginning Olga was so friendly and accommodating. She answered all my questions and was on the ball when there was a mistake and they sent it to me regular post instead of express. They still receive five stars from me though because they did everything they could to remedy the mistake and made sure I got my dress on time. I received it with a week to spare and to say I am beyond thrilled is an understatement. The dress fits like a glove and the quality and beauty of it is incomparable. Armstreet will definitely be seeing more of me in the future.

Hello! What is the maximum waist measurement of a size 0? What would the bicep measurement of a size 0 be?
Hi Liz, please check our size chart here: https://armstreet.com/size-chart.html
Hello! Are you shipping to Russia?
Hi Jane, yes we ship to Russia.
Hello! I am 5'5 and I was wondering how long this dress is? Thank you!
Hi Cate, custom size dress is made according to the given measurements. Fixed size dress fits the full height of 5 feet and 5 or 6 inches.
i really love the dress but I am between a size 2 and a size 4 so probably better 4 not to risk. i am based in italy how long would it take to have the dress? do you have also a version in green? Is there a possibility to talk with an assistant because I would also need another dress for myself ( more simple for daytime) and two outfits for my husband.
Dear Silvia, it is better to choose custom size in this case. Plus, in custom size you may select green cotton for the dress. Manufacturing and shipping time is indicated in each listing description. Pre-made dress can be sent right away. Standard shipping takes 3-4 weeks to Italy and express shipping takes 5 days. You are welcome to contact our support team for further assistance via contact@armstreet.com
Are there any photos available of this dress in the dark blue cotton? I am trying to decide between between the blue and red options. Thanks! :)
Hi Danielle, sure this dress is shown in the dark blue cotton on the Lost Princess dress.
Hello! I am size 0 but my height from head to toe is very petite: 150 centimeters. What should I do?
Dear Silvana, we recommend to select custom size option for this dress and it will be hemmed accordingly and it will be made according to your personal measurements.
If I am on the high end of size 0, should I order a size 2 if I order a chemise to go underneath the dress, or will that be too big?
Dear Andrea, please send us your bust and waist circumference so we could help you to choose the right size.
Hello! I am wondering if the Princess in Exile comes with the belt or if I need to order that separately. This will be my third dress from you. I love your shop!
Hi Stacy, the belt should be purchased separately here.
Why can I find care instructions for how to wash this dress?
Dear Mallory, you are welcome to check our care guide here.
Could this dress be made in linen instead of cotton? If so, what would the cost be?
Dear Abigail, this dress can be made of cotton or velvet only. Velvet dress costs more expensive.
Why do you not have all sizes ?
Dear Neli, we often re-stock all the sizes. Also, if your size is out of stock at the moment, you can place the pre-order for it and the dress will be made in a required size.
Hi I was curious about your gowns and dresses. I am aware you have custom sizing which is amazing. However I was curious what you would recommend for a growing baby bump? I’m involved with a medieval society and am curious if it would be easy to take to a seamstress to let out or if they are accommodating enough for a growing belly. It would be heart breaking to have to purchase another couple of gowns each trimester. Any suggestions?
Hi Austin, we recommend dresses with empire waist or this kirtle dress.
Regarding your fixed sizes, I saw the note about the dress length. (Fixed size dresses are 58" (148 cm) long.) I'm 5'6" (167 cm) and approximately a size 4 according to your chart. Should I get a custom dress for the longer dress length?
Dear Brittany, the dress should fit you nicely.
Iam a plus size women size 16, do you make any beautiful white dresses in my size ?. It will be for our 15 year wedding vow ceremony, we are senior citizens, and my husband is an airforce veteran, thankyou again.
Dear Joan, please simply select custom size option for the dress and send us your measurements in the order form so we could make custom size dress for you.
