I love the detail of the pleating on the far left one. I was wondering if they're wearing period-correct corsets?

The one you've pointed out, me (reading, pink flowers) and the girl in light purple, yes, we are wearing period-correct corsets Sadly, the other two girls didn't have time to finish them.

Ahh that's a shame! I noticed those two looked like they weren't standing as if they were. I feel so nerdy and smart being able to notice stuff like that, this time last year I wouldn't have a clue XD I love the details and colour combinations that you used

It's quite fun when you have the knowledge to notice these details Although you surely have waaaay more knowledge than me! Thanks!

SomniumDantis In reply to Zulma-san [2012-06-28 13:13:34 +0000 UTC]

Each of us made her own costume We're all part of reenacting groups so we're used to sew ^^ Thanks for the comment!

Zulma-san In reply to SomniumDantis [2012-06-28 13:24:22 +0000 UTC]

Very nice. I sew myself and I'm really enjoying what you all did.
May I ask, which pattern did you use?

SomniumDantis In reply to Zulma-san [2012-06-28 15:11:59 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Is that a dress made by you in your profile pic? It's awesome! ^^ I don't know about the other girls but I think we all used a base front and back bodice pattern and then just adapted it to fit the period. My skirt has no seams so it's just a piece of fabric gathered with pleating at the back. But there are lots of patterns out there, you just have to look a bit through the internet if you're interested in getting one of these dresses

It's actually a coat [link] and a skirt [link]
It took me several years to gather the fabrics.

Sure thing. I love period clothe. I'll look around thanks.
As you can see with my civil war ball gown: [link] I know the textile was not very accurate, I just could not resist XD

Well, that's pretty amazing then! Love the ensemble! It may not be accurate but it's lovely ^^ If you want to ask anything else I'd be glad to help you (in what I know/can help). xx
