She's just a cotton frock, but the fun is in the finishing...three kinds of pleating in her skirt, bobbinette shirring and ruching, and pretty silk covered buttons just for some mid 1880s style. I've found this style in so many extant images, especially those from the American Old West, so I couldn't resist making this for a client. . . . . #lilyabsinthegown #offtohernewhome #LAartist #pleatastic #dyedtomatch #ohthosevictorians #whattheywore #victorianoldwest #tombstonestyle #lifeinaminingtown #thevictoriandressdesigner #bustledress #historicalsewing #originalsources #theydidn'tjustwearbrown #cheerfulprint (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B27WkjUjbn9/?igshid=vmlnvpr55xar

Stitching on velvet leaves and final hem check...Adam wisely found some 80s music (um, 1980s...not 1880s, don't judge) so I can sing along to stay awake. #funtimes #highfive #LAartist #pleatastic #dyedtomatch #ohthosevictorians #whattheywore #frenchsilk #victorianballgown #1880s #antiquelace #vintageglamour #lilyabsinthegown #bustledress #sewinginhotelrooms #Topangaartist #deadlines #soclose #duchessesilksatin (at The Queensberry Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxBLoGbnIft/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ozw0crwsrlgk
