Finished ½ Scale 1868 Dinner Dress Reproduction

It has been a while since I last posted.  School has end, I am moving in just under a week and I finally took some portfolio pictures of the 1868 dinner dress I began working on last November.

Here is the original gown

And here is my take on the gown

There were many obstacles and hurtles that arose while building this gown, but over all I am very happy with how the dress turned out, especially how well and easily the fabric dyed :)
