| | | | | The Idea and Inspiration: A collaboration with the divine Mrs C to create Lady Maude Warrender's 1909-1910 laurel themed evening gown from Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion 1860-1940. The gown fit perfectly into my Pompeii to Paris project, and with Mrs C doing the detailed embellishment, tackling the gown was feasible. Fabric and Materials: Ivory silk charmeuse lined with cream cotton voile, with linen bodice lining for the underdress. Bodice boned with featherweight boning. Overdress of cotton/rayon net in gold and dyed black. Laurel embellishments of gold organza and embroidery floss. Sash and trim of silk and rayon blend velvet. Research and Resources: Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion 1860-1940 Jordan Bently's research on the original dress The Dress Diary: Introduction and inspiration The under-bodice and sleeve toile Dyeing the tulle Skirts and sashes Bodice re-construction The finished underdress The sleeves and overskirt The gown at Pompeii to Paris A photoshoot at the old Museum building A model in the gown The full photoshoot: | |
