1916 Preview

[atherleisure]

I've got two pictures as a preview of my 1916 evening dress. I'm going to try to get better ones when I wear it to the theater next month.





I changed the skirt design since my overlay was chiffon rather than net, but other than that I feel I did a reasonable job of imitating the original magazine ad.

Very pretty! I love the pleating on the bodice and the overskirt is a great shape!

Thanks! There seem to be a lot of overskirts of that shape from right around 1916; it must have been very popular.
