1820 Ball Gown Reproduction

Don't get bored ... sew...a master piece
My 1820 ball gown reproduction is made of beige Dupioni Silk & lace.

The original can be seen at Victoria & Albert Museum in London (UK).

Once upon a time, there was a blue Princess....

This dress and pelisse were custom made for one of my private clients.
The coat is a reproduction of an original 1815 pelisse owned by this lady.
It is made in brocade and lined with the same silk charmeuse as the dress.
