At last...
I've finished my gown. Or... almost. First, the photos, and then the problems...
I still have to make something with the collar for it to be more straight. I will also have to make another corset. First, I choosed to wear a "blanc corset" under the gown, but now that I look at it, the gown seems to look too much "18th" century and not really late 18th century.
On the portrait we can see the waist and the breast clearer than on my gown. On mine, the breast is flat (because of the corset). I will probably make one like this one : http://dept.kent.edu/museum/exhibit/nudity/CHS_1963_42_4.htm
I'm also a bit... hum, how to say that... Ok, I'm not fat but I'm not slim. Because the gown is late 18th, the waist starts to be a bit higher than the real waist, as we can see on the portrait. And to put the waist higher than the natural one, means to have a waist less slim. Therefore in that gown I feel a bit like something with no breast, no waist and well... like a tree ? (frustum ?)
I've tried with too kinds of belt, I like both. Well so i have to make a new corset... pfffewwww...
