Description
A triumph of iridescent silk dupion in a striking palette, where the fabric is allowed to shine and share both its colors to the world.
Something that will make you stand out in every crowd, a dramatic piece that will be the pride of your wardrobe, something you will want to have, once I will have finished making it.
The 18th century having fun with fabric manipulation and distressing, but not to tone down or make the dress more uniform… to make it pop!
It will be made from pure silk dupion in a wide range of colors, and lined in natural fiber fabric, either linen or cotton. As all my historical dresses, it will not feature any visible machine seam. Though it is not strictly suitable for 18th century reenactment, it will truly be the highlight of any other 18th century themed event, be it in Venice, Versailles, or any other place to have fun in historical costumes!
This will be the twin dress to something I will make for myself. The base project is a round gown, as my magenta moiré number.
The round gown is a practical dress: made with a fitted back with a dramatic cut as the anglaise, in this gown dress and petticoat are built in one.
The bodice you see on the mannequin is my own twin one, in sand colors.

COLOR PALETTE
You can see the chosen fabrics in the second picture. The main one will be the plum fabric on the left.
Will it fit you?
By purschasing this listing you are purschasing the mock-up service. I will create a mock-up of the bodice to be shipped to you and fitted via videocall. This is not just made to measure: this is bespoke to your unique body.
- The prices you see here do not include the undergarments.
1. You will need a petticoat to wear underneath the dress.
2. You will be needing a pair of stays and I will need them to have a specific shape. If you don’t have a pair, look HERE.
3. You will need false rumps.
