I have said for the longest that the late 1820s-1840s era of fashion didn’t really appeal to me. But knowing how the universe likes to make me put my foot in my mouth, it really said HA! HOLD MY BEER!
My friend Robin of SewLoud is hosting her annual dinner, and it is themed after Young Victoria. It’s at the Joseph Ambler Inn in North Wales, PA. I’ve been to the last two, and have had such an amazing time. And the room accommodations and continental breakfast? chefs kiss
So with me not having ANYTHING other than a corset for that time period (that I actually found last night and surprised myself!) that a friend gave to me, I of course needed to make a new gown!
Since I received so many compliments on the 18th century Aidah gown that my friend Spencer (ThimbleRaven) made and gave to me, I decided to stick with jewel towns and go with emerald green. I mean admittedly, I look DAMN GOOD! PLUS! I’ve been dying to get me a pair of the Flora boots from American Duchess since they first came out, but could not settle on a color. So I believe I made the right choice. Plus, it matches my hair color!!!
These are from in front of the Louvre while I was in France for my art residency!
