Yesterday was ROUGH but I’m just doing what’s needed to handle things & letting go of everything else. Stressing isn’t going to fix anything. Hoping today is better!

Some progress pics I took a while ago (I never post them until I’m nearing completion!), but I feel like this is a really obvious skirt to discern who the character is!

Christian Dior | ‘Venus’ | 1949⠀
———⠀
Joyeux Anniversaire, Christian Dior!⠀
⠀
I can’t think of a better gown to wear to a 115th birthday fête worthy of Dior. ⠀
⠀
Amidst the silvery spumelike net resembling sea foam, pearlescent shell-shaped scallops pronounce Venus risen from the waters. But Dior has not only evoked the story of Venus; he has also created an ideal of beauty. The sparkling splendor of such a garment is the dream of a ball gown. For Dior, fantasy was both marvelous and ideal. He strove to make an archetypal evening gown, but he was also creating the confections for the great postwar theme balls. (via The Metropolitan Museum of Art)⠀

I’m recently in love with liquid watercolor❤️So much fun! It’s still ink, right, so it counts as Inktober, right?;) Anyway, wanted to draw Claire’s famous red dress for a long time (and make it more 18th century-ish than the one in the show, hope you’ll like it:)

I have been thinking. A few weeks ago I posted how I was planning to make an Edwardian inspired dress for my cousin’s wedding, and now I keep looking through pictures I find online of either extent garments or replicas and I just don’t know how to modernize anything. Then I wanted to check something I had posted quite a while ago and came across these pictures:
This beautiful gown from Janet Arnold’s Patterns of Fashion 2. I’ve been in love with this dress ever since I first laid eyes on it and I totally forgot about it until now! And now I am seriously considering just making this gown and wearing it to the wedding. Too much? Probably, but my cousin and I both love extravagant or a little “over the top” dresses, we’re usually both the overdressed ones so she’ll be fine with it. And I feel like this isn’t too in-your-face-clearly-Edwardian-outdated-garb, so that’s sort of exactly what I wanted. I could totally see this being sold as a ballgown in a store.
Obviously, I’d have to finally give in and make some Edwardian undergarments, consisting of:
1 - a chemise and corset
I found a pattern for a similar corset, and I honestly might do one of these ribbon corsets. They seem easy to make and they were worn in the early 1900s, and if I remember correctly the dress is from 1902. This particular corset is from 1903. Longer corsets became more popular lateron. Or I might just go with an 1890s corset that at least I know how to make who cares at this point.
2 - a corset cover
and 3 - a petticoat
Even though this is a 1908 petticoat I think that’s what it’s supposed to look like for this particular dress.
I know drawers would have been worn but I might cut the line there and opt for modern underwear.
Or maybe I’ll just end up saying screw historical accuracy this is a wedding in 202? I can’t wear a corset all day and just wear a really good bra
Logically thinking, I should make the undergarments first but honestly, now that I found this gem of a dress again I can’t wait to start making it! As I already mentioned in my first post about it, I want it to be lilac. I’ve never imagined it in a different color, not even once I saw a photo of the actual gown (which was not purple). It just stuck with me and I think that dress would look amazing in a soft lavender.
So… now at least I have something to do until I start university again in a few months. I changed studies and I finally got the acceptance letter today so yay I’m happy!

R-r-r-ruffles have r-r-r-ridges. The concept for all 3 ballgown designs is a a waterfall I hiked to, Merrymere Falls in the Hoh rainforest.
