1812 Gown Anatomy

This is a work in progress, for a Regency picnic in April. I wanted something different, so I chose a high neckline. The closure is based on this gown: http://www.19thus.com/WomensClothing/1800-1815GreySilkDress.html

Here's how it works!

  1. Wow, great job! The high neckline looks very elegant, good job for trying something different! :-) I also like the gathering on the skirt.
    I can't wait to see how it looks when it is done- this is such a beautiful style!
