1800's Little White Dress

[atherleisure]

At the Houston Area Regency Society picnic last month, Kaycee Cheramie photographed the white 1800's dress I made this spring. It's slightly off-white cotton lawn and completely hand-sewn. It's based on the 1798-1805 dress in Patterns of Fashion. I used the sleeve pattern as is from that dress, but the bodice used patterns I already had fitted and just modified to get the lines of the bodice right. The only decoration is tambour embroidery on the bib. I'm really pleased with how the whole thing came out.














And my pinball...
