The new 18th century gown

Apart from bows in the front (I'm going downtown to get ribbons and some other sewing notions soon)and possibly self trim around the neck and sleeves (but I doubt it) my 18th century cotton/linen print gown is finished. I need to make sleeve ruffles and I would like to make a larger cap with pleated details, but I don't know if I'll have the time (or energy) for that before Sunday.




As you can see I have pulled the edges of the gown through the pocket slits, I like the way it looks. I am wearing the apron from my folk costume, also an 18th century repro print, and a neckerchief.

And yes, I will be wearing shoes and do something about my hair. I will maybe also wear the hat in my userpic.
