An atypical reblog from us, but Redthreaded is incredible and I will follow Settje’s work to the ends of the earth. Every single bit of black on the surface of this dress is appliqué and accurate to the extant gown. It’s done with such finesse that in pictures it’s almost impossible to tell the difference between the original gown and Settje’s work.

Historical recreation is often cosplay’s big sister and it’s never more apparent to me that we can learn from historical recreation than when I see projects like this!!!
