1830s dinner dress plans for 2025
This isn't at all what I should sew first, mind you, but it's occupying brain space so I'll write a post up for it and make a DW tag, and maybe it'll go away!
You know, I know, we all know that the height of Romantic style in the late 1820s-early 1830s hasn't really been my jam. I think it's delightfully ridiculous on everybody else and I love seeing people make it, but I've avoided making a big-sleeved 1830s dress for Robin's Young Victoria dinner for years. I made a few 1830s dresses years ago when the trend first came out here, and I've sold them on because I've never liked them. Too frou-frou, and I don't actually enjoy feeling like a giant ridiculous doll.
But! There is a Costume in Detail dress that I've had half an eye on for years, and it is in fact dated 1830-33.
