Back to sewing
Rather then working on my court gown like a good girl, I decided to start something completely new. I want a new dress for my 18th century picnic, and after lots of browsing and researching, I decided on a chemise a la reine, like this one.
The pink is so fun, I'm dyeing the fabric right now. I'm just debating between a fitted back and the loose back. I like the look of the fitted, but the loose back would give me the option of loosening the stays or going stayless ( which it looks like in the portrait) if it's too hot. But I'm realy intimitaded by it. It looks so simple, but it's so much fabric to deal with. Opinions?
