I have some glorious fabric to make into an 18th century court gown, like this V&A gown and it will be used for dance performances, so smaller pocket hoops will be used instead of large ones.
I'm hoping this fabric will work - but if my friends don't think so - can they recommend a gown with decoration like the one above that I could copy? Please send any pictures to aylwengg at gmail dot com
I've pasted some links to books about 18th century court dress below this cut.
