Court Gown Progress

[theladyrebecca]

I worked a bunch on the Court Gown skirts today. They are now done, save for hems and trimmings (which I have yet to really decide on). I wound up having enough of the pink silk to do the entire underskirt. I hope I don't regret that decision!

Here's a picture. The lighting makes the fabric look really weird...:


And this is a picture of my inspiration image, from one of the Tom Tierney coloring books:

Oooh! I love your color combination - it's so perfectly late-18thc! Makes me think of macarons and all manner of fluffy confections. :)

Oh good! I was stuck in this color combo because my original plan for the gala was a bustle-era gown, and I decided I would only jump on the court gown bandwagon if I didn't have to buy any new fabric for it.

It's really perfect. The fashion plates show so many pastel color combinations!
