I'm just getting started in 18th century but so far I have three finished dresses. I've also made three pairs of stays, so basically a new one for every outfit! :P I am now working on a 1789 French Revolution ensemble which you can read about
here.
 |
| This was originally based on two costumes from Marie Antoinette, but I ended up making it more historically accurate and sewing it mostly by hand. Worn at Costume Con 29, 2011. |
 |
| The back. The gown is made with a printed cotton, worn with the cream silk petticoat from the dress below. My wig is the Lacey "Wavy Showgirl" pinned up and rearranged. |
 |
| The trimmings are also silk with small ribbon "fly" fringe, silk ribbon and silk/cotton organza sleeve ruffles. The hat was made from a dolls hat and decorated with the same trimmings as the dress. For more information see my dress diary about this project. |
