frualeydis: (empire)
[personal profile] frualeydis
I realized that though it has been finished since July I haven't shown any pictures of my empire petticoat.
so


The back of the bodice is too long compared to the front, but I won't do anything about that since it won't show when I have a dress on. This is an easy mistake to make when you have so much bust as I have. And when you drape patterns on yourself.
The sleeves belong to the chemise. And of course I'm wearing a corset under it.

Thanks! Coming from you that means a lot :)
I can't say I enjoyed hand sewing through the firmly woven cotton I used, but at least there are fewer seams than in medieval clothes.

You probably recognize me from [livejournal.com profile] haugtussa and [livejournal.com profile] mirazandar. I added you because I want to look at all the lovely historical garments you make, and gain more inspiration for the costumes I aspire to make :)

Thanks. I'll add you to. I think it's you who had the dress diary of an 1840s dress that I have printed out to help me with mine. From Operaballet?

I made a green 184Os dress for Operaballet in 2004, so that was probably me, yes.

Very pretty! I'm itching to start my regency stays now. Not that I know when to wear Regency, I just want it.

I have nowhere to wear mine either.

A friend of mine as big hopes on having an annual Regency ball in Hampshire each Autumn. This year it happens to be on the same day as Beatelund, but I'm hoping I will have the opportunity to come next year.
