The Dress - Costume College 2009
Apr. 13th, 2009 11:20 pmAfter thinking about it, I'm back to my original idea of a sleek, fitted, princess line dress, either off the shoulder or very close to it for my Costume College ball gown. I want sleek! I want a waist!
Here are several gowns that I'm just in love with, I'm thinking of combining the lines in the two, the skirt from the one on the left (Elizabeth Drexel, 1905) and the surplice bodice from the center one (Suzanne Hudelo about 1899-1900). The one on the right (Ms. Unknown) is a colored photo that I think shows the design of the waist of the orange dress a bit better. Click on the pictures to see them larger.
This is the style that my SIL had talked me into. It just doesn't have quite the same appeal.
The fabric is this shimmery shot sunset orange silk gauze. The pale yellow silk on the left corner would be the underlining for it.
