Finished 1790's Dress
May. 27th, 2018 04:02 pmI set the waist on my 1790's dress yesterday so it is finished.



It's the Danish National Museum pattern (Tidens Toj*), including the embroidery. (Ok, I actually used the top of the pattern from my robe a la piemontaise for the lining and built from there.) It's a combination of machine and hand sewing with most of the interior seams done by machine and everything else done by hand. I did tambour embroidery instead of whatever the original had. It doesn't have as much visual weight as the original, but I like it.
*As usual, I am ignoring non-English characters so I don't have to figure out how to do them online.
