Dream Dresses #1

Hello! Today I will be showing a few fashion plates that I would love to re-create in the upcoming months (if I have time and materials!)


Reddingtons are gorgeous and I love this pink reddington with the big purple hat and hedgehog hairstyle! I need this in my life! Although, I would change a few things, I would wear a white petticoat instead of a blue one and the yellow bit would be pink. Overall, I am obsessed with this dress, especially the zone front like aspect.

 Okay, so this isn't technically a dress but I love historic hats more than anything and plan on re-creating the pink hat on the bottom right corner so I felt like I should include this in my first dream dresses post.
 Look at the gorgeous fuschia silk and cording on the back (I thought that was only a 19th-century thing until I saw this fashion plate) I love, love, love the Turkish inspired sleeves although I don't love the yellow accents and would prefer mine to be white.
 Look at the color of this frock, it's gorgeous and the white accents make this my ultimate dream dress.
I couldn't help but leave the best for last, this beauty has my favorite (Turkish inspired sleeves!) a stunning white sash, an anglaise back, ruffly trim and the most amazing blue color and train. This dress was love at first sight and might be my favorite fashion plate of all time.

Making these dazzlingly 18th-century dresses is going to be quite a feat. I only started working on my first ever 18th-century a few weeks ago and am going to have more updates on it when I get more fabric in the mail. But, a girl can dream!
