Nancy, t...Ooooh...I love that last gown so much! <br /><br />Nancy, thank you so much for your input. My very first thought on looking at the CWF gown (well, second, after "Ooooh...pretty!") is that the trim looked very Victorian, and not at all 18th century, and then I started wondering if there might have been flat geometric 18th century trim like that. And then I read your comment :-)The Dreamstresshttp://thedreamstress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813354351680599871.post-41268988516508826952011-05-25T22:48:41.776-04:002011-05-25T22:48:41.776-04:00I'm Nancy Glass.

When I first saw the royal blue damask gown with the sawtooth trim, I asked Linda Baumgarten,textile curator at CWF, about the trim. At that time she indicated that she thought it was added in the 19th century. Should anyone wish to copy this design, they might want to delve into the gown history if they want to maintain a purely 18th century style.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813354351680599871.post-89488223765425482692011-05-25T17:29:28.449-04:002011-05-25T17:29:28.449-04:00Lots of hours spent sifting through museum online ...Lots of hours spent sifting through museum online archives.
