1790s Round Gown blog post!

Or, I Am Really F*cking Cold Out Here And My Hair Is Wretched and I Just Want to Get This Over With.


Also subtitled, BOOBS. xD

"Detail shots", uh huh. *giggles*

They're not the greatest pics, I'm so WHITE and the dress is so WHITE that nothing shows up very well, but apparently I lose a lot of heat through the uncovered boob area, because about 15 minutes of taking pictures in the park in upper-40* weather this morning, and I was SO DONE. See what I do for you people? ;) Well now I can move on to the open robe - except I probably won't today, because I remembered I need to fit the robe mockup over the gown after I'd already taken it all off...and it's cold and I'm whiny. xD

This is lovely! I desperately want a gown like this... Thank you for braving the cold for us! :D

Thank you! I just love the transitional 90s styles, and am excited to finally have a base to build on. And I think you'd look smashing in one of them, you definitely should make one someday!

But the dress is lovely!

That turned out really pretty. I need a fresh white gown like this too.

Thank you! I was mostly looking forward to using it as a foundation for the rest of my outfit, but I actually think it came out pretty cute on its own merits. If you're into the "fertile" look, LOL!

That gown is really pretty! I love a good LWD. It's really pretty on you too. BEWBS!!!!

Thank you! xD I feel quite elegant in it!

Thank you for the "putting it on" details! I love what you did with the back, and the waistband-as-a-belt is such a neat idea! It turned out great!

Thank you! :D

It's gorgeous on you! I know that logically this is not supposed to be a flattering look to modern eyes, but it's my absolute favorite style from all of fashion history. (but we've already established that I have a very questionable idea of beauty). But really - I think you look quite stunning.

Thank you! :) I feel quite elegant in it, surprisingly! Originally I decided to do 1790s mainly so I could make all the fun crazy accessories, but the silhouette is really starting to grow on me.
