1886 Navy and Silver Gown

[atherleisure]

I finally got decent pictures of my bustle gown based on the costume with walking skirt from the June, 1886 issue of Delineator as reprinted on page 153 of Frances Grimble's Bustle Fashions 1886-1887. I used plain silver silk taffeta and navy silk faille and navy cotton broadcloth for lining.





More pictures under the cut.















Here's hoping I don't get completely lost in the Costume College wrap-up posts.
