This is a french style court gown. It is boned bodice laced center back and skirt over pannier. I have made a lot of research of this style because i made a danish court dress in this style. Look in "Costume" and Janet Arnold made a pattern draft of Sofia Magdalenas wedding dress, wich also is i

Oh yeah - I think we got that. :) I didn't even realize it was a dress, I was only interested in the mechanics of the skirt. I actually like the top part of it [sin shiny poly fabric of the skirt]. I don't have the figure for the top though...and I can't imagine wearing any of it in its cur

I remember one of my doll magazines featuring a maker of 18th style wooden dolls. But they don't come cheap--I think they were maybe $400 undressed and $750 up dressed. Theriault's sold some exclusives, but I don't get their catalog anymore. I believe they still have an online store. While I love

As far as I know, it's not intended as a way of keeping your skirt out of the mud. But on the other hand, it's not a permanent, sewn arrangement, it's definitely something done with cords that you can either loop up or let down. It would be nice if there was any evidence of someone wearing th

Re: [h-cost] Anyone seen this in history before?

In the late 1860s there were various methods of looping up a skirt with ring/drawstring arrangements or buttons to make it look different over an underskirt. My book _Reconstruction Era Fashions_ shows some of them. In the 1880s it was common to "polonaise" tunics/long bodices, and overskirts,
