The 1830's dress!

pattern is a modified combination of two dresses in Patterns of Fashion 1 from around 1837. It is a higher-collared morning dress in a reproduction cotton, with tightly-gathered upper sleeves and a full skirt. The bodice is lined with polished cotton and closes center front.

Worn over a gored-bust corset and starched petticoats, including a corded one! Pelerine is a light cotton/linen blend trimmed with lace and closed with a reproduction cameo brooch.

If anyone was wondering what became of those laces I posted a while ago, it’s this! 1850s shit. Also the 1st pipe is based on a real one from the period, and the 2nd is something Viennese I was being hopeful abt, but was probably late Victorian.

Alice Davis from the Mary Everhard Collection at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. The first picture is labeled “circa 1895“ on the museum website but based on the silhouette of the gown, I would estimate the year 1905 to 1908

Projected skirt adorned with shells of fabric recalling those of the bodice, placed in a scalloped pattern, sky blue satin belt adorned with a large bow in the back. Labeled "Mme Vignon, 182 Rue de Rivoli, Paris". Circa 1865. Good condition, rare stains and fabric weaknesses."
