Oooh, Pretty
Well I don't have much progress to report on the short stays. I have been too busy wasting time on the internet. However, I did find a gown that I am just dying to recreate. I have never had the urge to copy an existing gown, but I
just can' t resist this one!
I especially love the sleeves, and the neckline.
Now I am trying to decide what type of foundation garments will be needed. I will definately be making a chemise with the same neckline, but am undecided about the stays.
I spoke with my draping instructor ( who also happens to teach "Pattern Making For Historic Costume" and "History of fashion" ) and she thinks I could get away without the stays. I just don't know, this requires some thought on my part.
This will definately be my class project.
