This is the dress i am going to make. The decorated skirts is going to be embroidered. |
The yellow silk taffeta is the same as the dress is going to be made from |
The pattern draft of the pannier worn under Queen Louisa Ulrikas Coronation Gown. |
|
Closeup of one of the sides. The hoop is open in the top at each side of the hoop.
|
The shape is very nice i think. |
It only needs to have the gathered frill sewn to the bottom. |
|
I made the pattern for the embroidery of the overskirts front pannels. I also sellected the collours of embroidery silk i am going to use. The embroidered pannels are going to be on ivory silk taffeta. |
The pattern is transferred to the 2 pieces for the edge of the overskirt of the dress. |
|
I have chosen to make the flowers with Rosetta Stitches + french knots. Its a good way to make flowers in miniature.
|
From the back. It looks like the weddingdress in the moovie Marie Antoinette. |
It actually took me 6 hours to cut out the pinked trim and sew all the gathers on by hand of the right side of the overskirt. |
