Dunedin is just south of Christchurch you may have heard about the recent earthquake there. Anyway it was a collection of plates from Rudolf Ackerman's Journal: Ackerman's Repository of Arts, published monthly and sold in his shop in The Strand London. I completely fell in love with the era 1800-1811, what a little fashion blip that was. I will do a little post on it soon, so come and visit, but give me a couple of days. xx<br />http://zhozhofabart.blogspot.comZho Zhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991960930747209598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813354351680599871.post-19085511474902301212011-03-27T18:39:13.278-04:002011-03-27T18:39:13.278-04:00Here's another fashion plate that might help y...Here's another fashion plate that might help you...similar neckline -1811<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/51592109@N08/4844068464/in/set-72157624616333004/Le Bombettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07344968780059271389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813354351680599871.post-41817166292398785842011-03-27T18:13:40.784-04:002011-03-27T18:13:40.784-04:00Trying to figure out exactly what makes the gown 1...Trying to figure out exactly what makes the gown 1816 might be a bit of a frustrating search as it seems to me the Regency era is a bit schizophrenic about fashion. The mode in hemlines, trim, sleeve lengths and necklines change almost monthly. You do however see lots more of the wide, shoulder baring neckline in the later teens...there are even some caricatures about it. I don't know if you have read the book Historic Dress in America by Elisabeth McClellan but it is a great resource for Regency...I think you can find it on google books. I'm quite sure whatever trim and styling you choose it will look amazing :)Le Bombettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07344968780059271389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813354351680599871.post-61694639557030734772011-03-26T20:46:20.681-04:002011-03-26T20:46:20.681-04:00About the Hortense gown: I believe you can see the...About the Hortense gown: I believe you can see the front here http://www.thomason-photography.net/CBML/large-106.html<br /><br />More pictures can be seen here: http://www.thomason-photography.net/CBML/index4.htmlWelmoedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215033619189714381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813354351680599871.post-76293840774307556992011-03-25T15:46:28.495-04:002011-03-25T15:46:28.495-04:00I purchased that same silk from Angela for an 18th...I purchased that same silk from Angela for an 18th century gown. I'm a beginner so I'm scared to cut into it. I'm looking forward to see what you do with it! I'll also be making another Regency dress so this will be interesting to follow. Thank you for all your helpful posts. It might help me to move from cheap fabric to the real thing!<br />Laurielahbluebonnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950236885711745357noreply@blogger.com
