YOU helped make this Victorian-era Ball Gown

I needed a new dress to make for an upcoming costuming event. Next thing I knew I was making a super fancy ball gown from the 1840s. There were a few hiccups here and there but I think the finished dress turned out great! *** FRIENDS TO WATCH *** Laura Ingalls Gunn: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdW5hUXX6jxnsoICV3lR_VA https://www.instagram.com/decortoadore/ Cluster Frock: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZffw7tBpMYDTnQ9Fhrwp3w https://instagram.com/clusterfrock Time Travel Is Possible: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2I1l5014OPL9C4RYV9QV-g https://www.instagram.com/time.travel.is.possible/ *** SUPPLIES *** Laughing Moon #117 Ball Gown pattern: https://www.laughingmoonmercantile.com/product-page/pattern-117 Bronze Silk: https://www.silkbaron.com/product_p/821.htm Red Silk: https://www.silkbaron.com/product_p/448.htm Ribbon: https://www.etsy.com/shop/lesbonribbon Tarlatan: https://shop.takachpress.com/Tarlatan-p/tarlatan.htm Organdy: https://www.renaissancefabrics.net/product/cotton-organdy-white/ *** IMAGE SOURCES AND REFERENCES *** My 1840s dress re-fit video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbjJM1D8QsA Mid 19th century crinolines: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/108689 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/108687 1830s fashion plates: https://cdm16028.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15324coll12/id/384 https://cdm16028.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15324coll12/id/385 https://cdm16028.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collect
