As I've said before, we're going to England this September. Well, one of the days in London we're dressing to go to one of the places. So I decided to make a hisortical dress for that day. I knew I was already taking a Regency gown, so I really wanted something from another time period. I settled on the 1850s because 1) you don't need hoops, 2) I like the silhouette, and 3) I found this dress:
When I first saw the dress, I was in love. But not wanting to get too excited I searched for patterns to see if there was anything close that could be adjusted. I allowed myself to get ecstatic when I found this pattern:
With a few adjustments, I think this will be perfect.
I'm going to try to keep a diary of a dress for this project.
Let the fun begin!

I love that time period as well! Would you mind sharing where you found the pattern?
ReplyDeleteThat pattern is perfect for your dress! I can hardly wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteAna Smith- I found this particular pattern at Past Patterns. This is a very fun time period to work with.
ReplyDeleteSerena- I can't wait to see it finished either. :-)

Beautiful dress! Which day will you be wearing it? Are you staying on for the ball in Bath? I'm popping in on one of the Saturdays in London, should be fun!
