That's great! It's very interesting to see both the painting and the dress. Aylwen, do you have any fabric scraps left from your 1830s dress? I think the lace collar and sleeves are very necessary, but adding the tabs would also help a lot, especially if your gown has a pointed waistline (can't tell under that fan).
