Jane Bennet's Pink Summer Gown

This dress is seen on Jane when the weather is warm outside.

Full Front View: The bodice is V-necked and has a darker pink trim around the neck line and waist line. The trim along the neck line criss-crosses. The bottom of the dress is a darker pink then the rest of the dress.

Front View: You can see more detail in the trim on the bodice. There is also a decorate (but smaller than the neckline trim) trim along the bottom of the sleeve. There is also a puff to the sleeve.

Back View: Sorry the picture isn't the best. The pink trim along the waistline continues in the back of the dress.

The Patriot - Anne's Dress in More Detail

A week ago, I posted details for a dress from The Patriot, except I wish that the pictures had a clearer picture of some of the details. Luckily, with a camera, a Blu-Ray player, and a TV, I was able to get some pictures which, though not the best color, have nice close-ups of the details.

Side View

Closer Details on Stomacher: where the lines
meet, there seems to be a little rose at the
intersection

Sleeves: Looks like there are rows of lace
before the end lace.

Ruffles along neckline: pleated instead of
gathered?

Colonial Dress

This Colonial dress I made with the pattern Simplicity 4092. It proved to be a bit of a challenge, but it was able to come together. The dress was made from Baroque satin and was inspired by a dress worn by Charlotte from The Patriot.

Picture Source

You will see three pictures above. The top two pictures are full views of the dress, and the bottom picture is the picture from The Patriot. The dress is made up of two parts: the over dress and the petticoat. The petticoat in the 18th century did not necessarily refer to undergarments, but a visible and necessary part of the dress.

Here is a close up of the bodice (sorry the colors may be a little off). The front of the overdress skirt is pleated. The sleeves have a cuff on them and are decorated with lace.

Here is the back of the overdress. It is secured in the back by a zipper that runs a couple of inches into the skirt. The skirt in the back is gathered.

Here is a close up of the lace. This lace is actually made up of three pieces of lace that are sewn together and then sewn onto the sleeve.

That's my colonial dress. Currently a hat for it is in progress.
