THE STORY OF THE TAVERN WENCH
She can be found in one of the most vibrant and
vital establishments that any town can have, a
tavern. Its a place where the locals and
travelers go to relax and have a good time. The
tavern wench is important in that she brings joy
to all visitors. Putting a smile on weary
workers, flirting with the soldiers who gawk at
her beauty, and pointing travelers in the right
direction. She makes friends with all who come in
contact with her shes very charming indeed.

WHO IS SHE?
  • The tavern wench is flirtatious, attentive, and
    witty.
  • She works hard to tend to her customers.
  • The tavern wench is a great conversationalist and
    is often times the one that many visitors will
    open up to.

LOCK-LACE BODICE
  • The superb cut cups the breasts for a perfect
    lift
  • Double boning in the front dips below the navel
    for a flat profile
  • Lacing in the 54 grommets up the back sides and
    front allows for custom fitting
  • Made of durable cotton twill and trimmed in gold
    gimp
  • Hidden pocket keeps the four pieces of
    spring-steel boning in place, and reinforces the
    front grommets

5
WHITE CLASSIC CHEMISE
  • The ideal classic chemise will be made of 100
    cotton muslin
  • Make sure that your chemise comes with a
    drawstring neckline and has very full, long
    sleeves
  • Most chemises should be one size fits all
  • Were no longer in the Tudor era so be sure to
    confirm that your chemise is machine washable,
    for your own sake

TWO GATHERED PEASANT SKIRTS (CONTRASTING COLORS)
  • A comfortable and affordable gathered peasant
    skirt is of soft cotton. It should resemble the
    weave of linen but sans the cost of linen
  • Double set of lace holes in the back of the
    waistband allow for adjusting the fit
  • A great peasant skirt will have an extra-high
    waistband rather than elastic so that you can
    keep your chemise tucked in all day and never
    look disheveled

IN CLOSING
Without the tavern wench, communities wouldnt be
half as fun. A tavern is a place where all go to
unwind, forget their worries, have fun, and make
friends. The tavern wench sees to it that all of
her patrons are tended to and even is a great
source of information because everyone in town is
comfortable with her and thus communicate with
her openly. With all of these pieces combined
you will be able to portray a beautiful tavern
wench of the Tudor period. Whats great about
having these pieces is that some are
interchangeable and can be used to create more
outfits as you grow your collection of Tudor era
clothing!
