Finally Took Pictures

atherleisureI finally bothered to get all dressed up and take pictures of my remade 1770's green-striped cotton robe a la anglaise. Everything new is hand-sewn. I didn't rip apart the sleeves or skirt so they are still machine-sewn.
I put the ties back in to be able to loop up the skirts, but I'm not sure if it's really appropriate in what is really a quilting cotton. But here are pictures anyway.
When I asked my husband to take pictures now that I had remade the dress, he asked, "What's different?" My answer - "Now it fits." For comparison, here's a picture taken in 2010 when I first made the dress.
I'm much happier with it now.
And since I was taking pictures anyway, here's the 1890's petticoat I made in the last couple of weeks. I think the pattern will do nicely for my 1897 Harper's Bazar dress, whenever I get around to it. I will probably take a couple of small tucks in the petticoat, though, to shorten it a bit.
