Description
My latest gown, nicknamed the Caramel Gown The main bodice and overskirt are made of a caramel cotton velvet, the forepart and hat are made of an orange and gold upholstery damask, and it is trimmed with a black and gold/copper pattern trim. Since this photo was taken, I have hand beaded the hat and will be beading the underskirt forepart and the trim will get some crystals. Also, the tabs which you can't see in this photo have been beaded. Still need to make the hanging oversleeves and some kind of fitted undersleeve. I also made the choker, necklace, earrings, and partlet. The hat pin was purchased.

I loved the color of the velvet for the longest time and finally decided to make a gown out of it I have had the orange damask for a few years. Had found that in the clearance section of a Joann's and decided to hang on to it. I thought it was nice to pick an out-of-the-norm color scheme for once
