Thanks for sharing--this is a lovely bibfront dress in a dark red silk.
In my admittedly un-scientific survey, it seems that prosperous matrons here
in the US favored dark silk gowns rather than muslin. There is quite a
selection of portraits where women are wearing such garments. Also,
I'm not certain whether this would help, but I made an apron front or bib front
Empire gown. You can see how it's put on here:

I was reading something the other day that stated that darker, sophisticated

Ah, I'm glad I'm not alone - I felt kind of shamed into it when my older

Hi JonnaLyhn,
I am sorry to have missed being introduced to you. I know Elizabeth from a
mutual friend, when we met at Robin Netherton's workshop in LA.
And what did you wear to the Gala? I was taking lots of photos of most everyone
I could in gala dress, tho I missed a few.

trying to keep up with h-costume, and dropping in to read the archives
of a handful of Yahoo groups on the web every couple of months.

It does take time, which I find when I am eating lunch, and relaxing during the
news hour or in the evening if I don't have anything else to do. You also learn

Hi,
This is slightly off-topic but I'm curious and I figured this list
would probably be best to answer. The latest fall Buttericks are out and
there is one Making History
pattern. Usually I can guess where they have drawn their inspiration
from and what period that they are imitating

I agree, 30's, raglan sleeve era and those nip tucks under the boobage. But
