Good evening all, My current major project is an 18th century robe a l'anglaise for a ball coming up in July. The theme of the ball is 'the age of indulgence chocolate ball' (the time period is nominally 18th century) so I'm fitting with the chocolate theme by making a purple robe a l'anglaise. I was hoping to make brown accessories to help the theme along but the only brown fabric I have in my stash that's not set aside for a particular project is a small piece of velveteen. I've only got about 1 metre of this but I have never done much research into 18th century fashions (I've previously focussed on the 16th & 19th centuries) so I don't know what it might be used for.
Has anybody got any suggestions on an 18th century accessory that would use only one metre of velvet (something to keep warm would be good as July is the middle of winter for those of us in the southern hemisphere) Elizabeth ------------------------------------------ Elizabeth Walpole http://magpiecostumer.wordpress.com/ http://magpiecostumer.110mb.com/ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
