It’s been a long time since i’ve had a post devoted to finished photos of a costume! But this weekend I got two costumes photographed, and last month I got two other projects photographed. So I should have lots of photos to share soon – I just have to get them edited first!
These photos are of my 1790’s Round Robe based on one of Norah Waugh’s patterns. The pattern gave me quite a bit of trouble and I ended up being unhappy with the shape of the bodice. But I kept going and now that it’s finished I quite like the ensemble.
It’s made from several yards of striped pale yellow cotton, with a front panel made from a sheer curtain. The bodice (and back of the skirt) is lined with muslin. The skirt closes at the front front with a drawstring and the bodice closes with hooks and snaps.
I paired the dress with some fake pearls and a straw hat that I altered, lined, and trimmed to make it more period appropriate.
I have to posts about making this dress, which can be read here, and here if you’re interested.
Now onto the photos!
And that’s it!
OH my gosh! That is so gorgeous! And the pictures turned out amazing!
Blessings,
Victoria
