Pattern: Truly Victorian TVE45 and TVE23

Fabric: Beaded Silk Chiffon and Silk Damask

Modification: None

Notes: Edwardian style evening gown made of a kimono style blouse and a princess seamed gored skirt. The challenge lies in fabric choice. Working beaded fabric takes a lot of patience. Most of the time were spent removing and then securing the beads. I almost felt like machine sewing didn’t really save that much time for t his at all. Hand sewing is the way to go.

As usual, Truly Victorian pattern are well drafted with clear instructions.

Possible improvement: None that I can think of but I would need to work on some historically accurate undergarments to complete the look.
