Fooduary Day 16: Carrot Cake

In 1814 a super popular recipe for a “Gateau de Carottes” was published. Theoretically they evolved from carrot puddings but I maintain that there’s a difference that matters. Carrot cake isn’t necessarily my go-to cake but it is tasty and cream cheese frosting is always a fabulous bonus.

1811 cotton dress + wool knit spencer, complete! I originally made the dress for summer but never got the chance to get photos then, so now it's an xmas ensemble 👌

The base dress was a Fig Leaf Patterns morning dress with a lot of alterations (size, proportion, fitted back and sleeves, closed dress, etc etc) and I used the resulting pattern for the spencer as well.

I referenced a couple of 1810-11 fashion plates from Costume Parisien for the trim and spencer. Solid red cotton is almost certainly not a period-accurate choice, but I had it on hand and it was the right weight and fiber. ✌️ Wool knit is more accurate for rural European garments than for elite fashion, but again - I had it on hand and liked it! For the bonnet, I chopped up a straw sun hat and decorated with with my red cotton and a few other scraps. With a light silk petticoat and my 1790s boots, this ensemble was great for a rainy 50f day. ❤️

Empire style dress, 1805-1810, France

Source: V&A Museum

This muslin gown is a typical evening ensemble of the period 1800-1810. The embroidered design of flowers has been worked in cotton and silver thread with tiny gold spangles (sequins). It resembles fashion plates and descriptions from the fashion magazine La Belle Assemblée of 1807. A new development in dressmaking is the fastening of the gown at the back rather than the front.

One Dress a Day Challenge

July: Blue Redux (+ Green Redux)

Vanity Fair / Reese Witherspoon as Becky Sharp

In this scene, Becky discovers that she is bankrupt, nearly has all her possessions seized, and accepts money from a nobleman to pay her bills, getting into an even worse sort of debt.

There's a great writeup of the costumes for this movie at the Costume Vault blog, here. I'll quote a significant passage: "Color wise the designs for Becky center around a very simple idea: the base color for her is red, and depending on her social and emotional state her dresses have more or less red in them. The happier and more comfortable she is, the more red is included within the costume. However, when she is drifting away from her goals or plainly unhappy, her dresses go to darker and grimmer colors." So here, you can see that she is not doing particularly well, being dressed almost entirely in blue--but there is just a thread of red going through it to show that there is still a tiny bit of hope, perhaps.

Her necklace, much like the one worn with her red ball gown, resembles a chain. This is almost certainly also symbolic!

I finished making a linen ruffle shirt and silk vest! Plus a better view of my Cossack pants.

The shirt is linen from fabric mart using the same pattern as my other shirt, but this time I added ruffles and shirt-links.

The pants are made out of bedsheets. I’m not ashamed of it. They’re more 1820s/1830s styled so I’m mixing it up a bit, but I think that’s ok because these clothes are not reenacting.

The cravat is from Burnley and Trowbridge and it’s one of my favorites I have now.

The shoes are American Duchess (yes, they’re Victorian style shoes and not regency period. I don’t care because they’re incredibly cool. Pretend they’re spats).

1810s morning dress complete! Complete coincidence that I am looking off to my right in all of these images, oops.

I used Fig Leaf Patterns’ Regency Morning Dress pattern; the whole thing is unlined and made out of about 4.5 yards of a lovely vintage semi-sheer wool saree. I also made new stays (Redthreaded), chemise, a half-bodied petticoat, and a chemisette with ruff for this. Oh, and the shoes! 😎 I followed Nicole Rudolph’s great regency shoe video tutorial.

Overall I’m decently happy - my favorite part is honestly the chemisette, as it’s ridiculous and I love it. However, I’d mocked up the dress bodice but neglected to check the armscyes, and they’re *huge*; along with the baggy sleeves, it creates a lot of bulk up at my shoulders and upper arms that just doesn’t look flattering. (I also had some issues with the very filmy wool that resulted in not making the underbust tight enough.) The next time I pull this out to wear I’ll probably narrow the sleeves, and if I used the pattern again I’d narrow the armscyes a great deal as well. *I did cut off about half the fabric in the CB of the bodice back, as even with this length there was more than enough gathering going on.

I’m gonna call this about 92% handsewn - long skirt seams and the skirt gathering stitches were done on machine and the rest I did by hand.
