1805 Linen Morning Dress

Pale blue linen bib- fronted dress based on patterns in Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion and Nora Waugh's The Cut of Woman's Clothes. The pattern was draped by me to mimic those in the books.

All sewing on this dress and it's undergarment was done by hand in the closest thing I could get to period techniques. Those undergarment's are a pair of transition stays (1795 to 1800), a short sleeved linen shift and a bodiced cotton petticoat. There is a small bustle pad attached to the interior of the dress by two eyelets and a lacing. (by small I mean about 4" by 3" ) It allows the fullness at the back of the gown to puff out just a little and give it the right look.

The decoration on the sleeves and bib is a very simple narrow lace which I sewed done in V patterns. I got the Idea from some pictures in The Cut of Woman's Clothes.


Blue Wool Spencer Jacket

The Spencer is a little bit more imagined than the gown. I didn't have one pattern to work from so I compiled what I knew and what I could see in photos and from the patterns I had. (this includes J. A.'s patterns of Fashion and the kyoto institute's costume book.) The jacket is lined with striped silk. The decorative buttons on the front are covered beads that my dad cut in half on his power saw for me.

The closure is hooks and bar-tacks. the hooks where hand made from brass jewelry wire.

The sound of music is what it reminds me the scene where you see the girl wearing that similar blue

I simply love that picture. Somehow it represents the time of those clothings for me. And your dress and spencer is great!

Napoleon times wear!! Yeah~
It's so lovely! And the photo's very nicely shot, because of the contrast and the very fitting composition of the lonely girl and the wide range. Beautiful in every way!

Oh wow. Everything about this picture is just so beautiful- from the dress to the location and everything in between(even the way you have your hair makes it looks like someone brought the page of a book to life).

And for some odd reason, I was reminded of "The Sound of Music"

Thanks. These pictures came out better than I could have hoped. I think I may have been one of the Benet sisters in a previous life. :P
