2019 / 1871 I really enjoy reproducing fashion plates - there’s a bit of wiggle room since the proportions are so exaggerated, and you have to solve problems and make up what you can’t see. It took me about five weeks to make this (not counting undergarments, which I’d made earlier), and about 85 hours of work. I was a lot more careful and historical with construction and fitting than I have been previously (though it’s not 100% accurate - I admit to a lot of serging!) and I hope that it shows. Most of the hours in this were due to handwork: stitching trim, basting for flatlining, etc. It was a good time!

When you forget it's hot outside and you channel your inner goth... 1861 evening dress, @metmuseum. The highlight of this gown - is clearly the skirt, the emphasis of which, has shifted from the front, to the back of the dress. #fashioncuration #fashionhistorian #fashionmuseum #fashionstudies #fashionhistory #dresshistory #dressmuseum #costumemuseum #costumehistory #historyoffashion #historyofdress #historyofcostume #victorianfashion #19thcenturyfashion #mourningdress #innergoth
This evening dress is of ivory moiré silk #faille which has been richly embroidered with #gold and is paired with a detachable court train of green #velvet also embroidered with gold. These pieces are English and date from 1810-1825. (My previous attempt at posting this lost the details do I'm trying again)
