Robe a l'anglaise - Front

Description

This dress is based off dresses from the late 18th Century, (1780-90s), with a large Gainsborough-esque hat. The dress is all silk (striped yellow with tan and turquoise pinstripes, Turquoise belt, bows, and accents on the hat, and green silk hat base, and petticoat. There is also an embroidered stripe silk I used for the underside of the hat that I had left over from my husband's Elizabethan outfit. ([link]) The underskirt and bloomers are cotton, and then there is a brocade corset and "fluffer" - a underskirt made out of heavier fabric that helps increase the volume of the skirts.

I have a wig on (not my best wig but it was my first try at a hedgehog style) and American Duchess shoes ([link])

I used a J.P. Ryan Pattern for the bodice and corset, but drafted the rest myself.
