frualeydisThough I'm not that fond of bustle I love the colour scheme of this dress. The ruching in the front looks a little weird though.
Wool dress with no other dating than "end of the 19th century", but lovely strong coloured stripes.
Another dress from the same time and once owned by the same woman. This time in blue.

Date: 2006-11-16 08:43 pm (UTC)I've been wondering about one of the regency dresses. Is it a fancy dress costume, or something intended for everyday wear. Too bad it doesn't tell.

Date: 2006-11-16 09:22 pm (UTC)I remember seeing another swedish black taffeta gown in some book somewhere where it had white bows in decreasing sizes all the way down the middle of the front. And white lace bits at the elbows and a few other white elements. I dunno if I can describe it properly, I should just draw it. :) *isn't very specific*
If I ever do 18th century I'd do a copy of one of those and a copy of an image I saw at the Getty.
The combination of silver grey and burgundy was very striking, although the skirt was kinda crazy! ;)

Those two ones rather look like somethign around the 1840s to me, though... Shoulder line, waist, sleeves...

Date: 2006-11-16 10:32 pm (UTC)As for the black tafetta 18th century number, there's something about that which looks a bit off to me. There was a fashion in the 1870's for 18th century inspired fashions (and there's always that fancy dress thing too....). To me the bodice point looks too long and there's too much curve to the wasitline for what I understand as 18th century. Also the gathering at the bottom of the skirt looks wrong for the 18th century but much more like the ruching popular in the 1870's- compare and contrast with the natural form dresses.
Of course I could be completely mistaken and the differences could just be between the Anglo-French/American 18th century fashions and the Swedish version.
The Empire clothing is fabulous! I love the details on the brown wool dress. Thanks so much for sharing the links!

Thanks for sharing the links - some fascinating stuff. Love those pleats on the hem of the grey and burgundy
