(Woohoo!!)
I've been a bit buried in all things wedding, with an additional layer of all things shoes on top, and I realize I totally haven't posted about this! Eek!
So here's my wedding gown inspiration:
 |
| Via Costumer's Guide |
I found the perfect pale green silk taffeta from Puresilks.us for the redingote:
I already have the ivory silk taff from Fabric Mart, nabbed on sale for $10/yard (couldn't believe it!)
So I guess I'd better get to work. I have a petticoat and new stays to make out of the ivory first, then a full toile for the gown, before slicing into the final fabric. October will be here before I know it!
SQUEEEE!!! congratulations!!! I am so excited for the gown, i know it will be exquisite... but even more importantly, so excited for you two.
ReplyDeleteCongratulation how exciting. I can't wait to see the finished dress.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I cannot WAIT to see the final result! Are you making special weddings stays and whatnot as well?!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Edith! Yes, some special 1780s wedding stays out of ivory taffeta. It's a must! :-)
DeleteCongratulations!! Can't wait to se it finished!
ReplyDeleteCongratz, Soon-to-be-Mrs.-Mr.-C! Can't wait to see how awesome this dress is gonna be!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! The gown's gonna look awesome!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Now get going, you have a lot of work and you don't want to be hemming on the morning of your wedding. ;)

ReplyDeleteCongrats! Are you doing anything else historical for the wedding? Invitations? Food? I can't wait to see the updates on this; that silk is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Aeflinn! The wedding isn't intended to be historical, just the two gowns, but there is a sortof shabby chic/vintage/French country feel for decor, and the location is a mildly historic site, though not 18th century. :-)
DeleteCongratulations on your upcoming wedding! Looking forward to see the dress :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I can't wait to see the dress!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteMazel Tov! Will you let Mr.C pose for a wedding photo with you so we can finally see what he looks like?
ReplyDeleteHello,First of all never be afraid to dye! You wouldn't believe what I throw into the dye pot at SNL. The last thing was a $2,000.00 designer dress. secondly,I have only used petite paniers for a gown like your sacque-ma. I think your grand panier is way to short. What if you drop the widest part almost to the floor and the overskirt will flair out at the hem. I love your site!
