Description
Sitting for Stéphane Casali ([link] )
Picture was taken during the event of Beleef het Verleden in the beautiful House of Keetje Hodshon, in Haarlem (Noord-Holland)

Dress: a 1810 silk batiste dance dress, ankle short, made by me. The embroidery pattern follows one of a dress at the Danish National Museum (just smaller than the original), executed in silk thread.
Worn over: shirt, half-stays and a petticoat with a ruffle, silk stockings and dance shoes
Worn with: suede gloves, a nice hairdo using a border of a modern pashmina shawl, a silk organzina veil. Hidden in the hairdo: a paste crescent brooch (very small), a bunch of paper forget-me-nots (two more bunches are worn in the front of the dress). The beautiful necklace of pearls and garnets was made by [link]

Last but not least: My pictures are not stock-pictures. Unless you are one of few the artists who have my express permission, please don't use my pictures. (you are of course free to ask, but I've had bad experience in the past)
