1759 open robe continued

I did a little research on the early 18th c open robe and made a flickr album for it, including some paintings by Francis Hayman. I settled for a printed ivory silk taffeta with flower garlands now, pictures later!
I think I will need dome shaped paniers to go under it. As this dress has a big part in patternqueen´s  upcoming novel I will also draft a multisized pattern for it to be released in our shop soon.

ps: my sewing mojo came back to me.

1759 open robe, sewing, 18th c.
