In this video I remake my 1780s Italian gown into a zone front later 1780s Italian gown with a separate stomacher.

The original gown is made from thrifted silk curtains and the stomacher is thrifted silk-cotton blend satin leftover from the satin petticoat I made earlier.
The gowns I show as examples of extant gowns in this style can be found here.
