It is gorgeous- good job!
I have this pattern too. I have yet to find fabric for it (at least one that love enough to want to purchase that much). You did a wonderful job, it is beautiful
Absolutely Gorgeous Gown! The work(wo)manship is perfection!!! I'm just getting started in CWR and have been making my undergarments, mostly by hand. I haven't decided what my 'gown' will be yet. Having trouble finding the perfect 'period correct' fabric for the gown for under $40/yd. Did you use silk taffeta and silk satin, or did you use synthetic?
Lovely! Makes me think of Little Women.
