1890's evening gown
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 1:14 pm
An evening gown that I made earlier this year for a Gilbert and Sullivan event I went to. While everything went together well, I learned (the hard way) that it is not a good idea to fit the bodice like a glove before the lining and boning are added. Due to me leaving everything to the last minute (again, when will I learn?!
) I didn't try it on again until the night of the event and found out that I could not close the buttons with the corset I had on. Thankfully I had packed a smaller corset and so through the power of boning, lacing and muscles, I got that dress buttoned up.
I used TV297 and TV490 with the Chrysanthemum sleeve option.
