Finish my 18thC Dress (read all 5 entries…)
So I actually finished this.... 3 months ago

Then I took the dress to bits. Well not completely, but I finished it for an event with a bit of a deadline – long term I want the dress to be more configurable and give me different ways of wearing it.

So far I’ve:

  • Taken the ruffle off the skirt and re trimmed it with a slightly different ruffle that goes all around the skirt.
  • Taken off the red box pleated trim, made a short full skirted jacket and used the trim on this.
  • taken off all the bows and roses.

What I need to do now is:

  • make a different coloured underskirt, I’ve almost finished this.
  • take out the lining of the dress and remake it with a lined skirt
  • add two buttons at the back to give me the option of a polonaise
  • make a black chemise with attached lace sleeves for wearing underneath
  • take white lace off sleeves and add to white chemise
  • trim dress with gold organza ribbon and add attachment points for flowers and bows.

Finish my 18thC Dress (read all 5 entries…)
So nearly done. 9 months ago

So far all I have left to do is to sew 10 hooks on to the overdress so I can lace it over my stays and sew a hook on to the skirt.

I need to do this tonight, as I plan to wear the thing out on Friday night!

Finish my 18thC Dress (read all 5 entries…)
Finished Chemise 9 months ago

Have bound the neckline properly and put a ribbon in as drawstring.

Have also partially assembled skirt, just need to finish the waistband properly and hem.

The overdress so far looks like this: I need to finish the sleeves properly and attach the lining, hem it and decide on how to make the thing lace up.
