In this video, I talk about Felicity, Pleasant Company AKA American Girl Dolls, the plot of Felicity's Surprise, and then of course, I MAKE the dress. I used silk taffeta, linen and a lot of historically accurate sewing (and some historically inaccurate sewing!) in order to make the gown a reality. In particular, I go into the construction of the dress, which I believe was originally an "English gown", also known as a robe a l'anglaise.
