For those who have been wondering. . .
. . .about my 18th century gown for Venice, I now have it, and I'm starting on adding all the bows and trimmings, etc.
Below the cut, a bunch of pictures. . .
First, the new camisole I made, that's cut low enough, and doesn't have sleeves (the dress fits pretty close):
Next, the whole set of underwear:
(And yes, one can smuggle a whole loaf of bread in each of those paniers).
The petticoat, with slits so I can still get into the pocket-paniers:
Now the gown, without any adornments, yet:
And a close-up of the ruching I'm adding to the neckline:
And what it will look like on the front (still under construction, obviously):
Whee!
