*suppresses tears of joy* Could you possibly tell me where you got the pattern(s) for this dress? I'm sure I won't be able to make it half as well as you, but I don't think I could cope without this dress

Hi there,
well its a mash up of a couple different patterns. I think I used simplicity and JP Ryan, or Mill Farms. The trims I just kind of made up as I went along. Of course the fabric made the whole thing shine!

Thank you! I'm not sure... I did sell it to someone from LA so its possible it ended up in a background of extras. That would be cool!

I was wondering if you could contact me about possibly having a gown made in future. I love and admire your work greatly. As long time reenactors, we have need of many different 18thc. garments, and alas, I do not possess such sewiing skills.
Kind regards,
Mary

What a fantastic piece of work! The colors are perfect and the effect is absolutely exquisite. I love that this photo was taken outside and you can see such movement in the dress and how the natural light plays on the fabric.

Thank you... yes it was a windy day and if you look very closely you can see my daughters fingers holding it from behind. I love to photograph in natural light.
I sold it immediately after completion and sometimes wish I had it back.

Wow. All your dresses are just beautiful! How long does a dress typically take you to make? It must take so much work!

Thank you so much for you kind words. My dresses are a labor of love. Usually they take about 2 or 3 weeks depending on the trims. I try and make all my trims to really give it a cohesive custom look. Each gown requires at least 10 yards of fabric. I try and build them to last so they are all completely boned in the bodice and when grommets are used i machine set them. I'm a little nutty about it really. Also the hats are usually done on a hand sewn buckram frame and i try to sew all the fabrics when i can instead of using hot glue. Thanks again for stopping by!
