So, I've been working on a historically-inspired gown for probably the past year, and put it on hiatus many times. I recently came to the realization that I need to make proper undergarments for it, so that's what I've been working on lately! I wish I have been taking more progress pics throughout the process, but unfortunately I haven't been. But I plan to change that!
Here are what I'm going to call "hybrid-stays." I still have a little bit to do on it before I can post them in full, but here is a shot of eyelets and flossing. (It's my first time flossing, so please be kind!)
Some silvery trim that's going to go somewhere on the gown. Haven't quite figured out wear yet.
And lastly, some silver dupioni silk and silver 3D appliquΓ©s that will make up the bodice.
I'm going to attempt to make more progress posts moving forward. Working title for the dress is just "The Silver Gown" but I'd love to give it a proper name. Still yet to be done is the chemise, petticoat, crescent cups for the stays, bodice, finishing up the skirt, and making accessories. I hope you follow along with this journey!!!
