I copied this gown from the Met Museum | Making a 1790s Open Robe

I'm recreating another dress from a museum collection, or at least taking inspiration from it. I found a beautiful late 18th century/early Regency-era open robe in the Met Museum collection and fell in love with the back design: dozens of angled pleats and fabric-covered buttons. So when I got my hands on some silk stripe fabric for a great deal I knew I wanted to make my own version. *** REFERENCES *** Inspiration Dress: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/80094851?img=2 Patterns: Laughing Moon 126: https://www.laughingmoonmercantile.com/product-page/126-download-ladies-round-or-trained-gown-with-high-stomacher-front Black Snail Regency spencer: https://blacksnailpatterns.com/en/products/empire-kleid-mit-armellosem-spencer-1805-bis-1810-schnittmuster-0119-grosse-eu-34-56-pdf-download?_pos=5&_sid=4f290d813&_ss=r Black Snail robe a la Anglaise: https://blacksnailpatterns.com/en/products/rokoko-kleid-robe-a-la-anglaise-1770-90-mit-zwei-armelvarianten-cutaway-front-und-po-kissen-schnittmuster-0519-grosse-eu-34-56-pdf-download?_pos=1&_sid=275a21a71&_ss=r Scroop Amalia Jacket: https://www.scrooppatterns.com/products/amalia-jacket-1775-1795 My 1815 Norweigian Regency gown recreation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx3-yATHdNg *** MUSIC *** Courtesy of EpidemicSound.com *** CONNECT *** Follow me on Instagram @dixiediy: http://instagram.com/dixiediy If you'd like to support the channel, I have a Ko-Fi account: https://ko-fi.com/dixiediy I may not always have time
