The Historical Sew Monthly 2015 #7: 19th century Turban

 

For July challenge I decided to make turban matching to this my regency dress:

 

Stockings

My first experience of making stockings. I made two pairs for my husband.

Men's 18th century outfit

That's my first experience of making 18th century men's outfit and men's outfit in general. So that was really a challenge!

As for women's outfit I used guidance from:
http://www.marquise.de/en/1700/i_herstellung.shtml

136 hours of work for shirt, cravat, stockings, breeches, waistcoat and coat (justaucorps).

And as for women's outfit I'm really proud of the result:)

18th century stays and robe à la française

That's my first and the only for the moment 18th century dress. I used guidance from:
http://www.marquise.de/en/1700/i_herstellung.shtml

That was very long (about 135 hours for stays, chemise, under-petticoat, visible petticoat, stomacher and the robe itself) and expensive project, and totally unknown for me period. I'm really proud of the result:)

I want to share beautiful rococo photoshoot that was made last August.
