Going to a vintage-dresser pride party on Friday and realized I didn’t have any rainbow clothing. 12 hrs later, problem fixed!

I used the pattern block I made for my 1840s cabbage rose dress (did I ever post that here?) and extended the front before trying it on and drawing out the point I wanted. The stripes on this fabric are diagonal, so it was actually kind of difficult to place all my pieces so that they’d be doing the right thing 😅🏳️‍🌈

I needed to make this quickly and I don’t have a serger here, so it’s unlined and I only finished some of the seams after sewing it together, but I think that’s pretty historically accurate anyway 🤣 I’m super happy with how it’s turned out!

[ I drafted the bodice pattern from Elizabeth Friendship’s book Making Working Women’s Costume, and I’m wearing it over my old Redthreaded 1860s corset. ]

Some colors just make my heart happy. This gown is peak Gothic, dating from 1840-1850, potentially of German origin. If you like layer cake gowns with staying power, this is ideal.

Miles of rose pink taffeta silk, Chinese style embroidery, and those mirrored V shapes at the bodice top and bottom just make this perfect for a princess (or a princess at heart). The embroidery at the bottom of the bodice just kills me it's so beautiful and delicate. Monochrome can be so beautiful!

One Dress a Day Challenge

Anything Goes December

The Muppet Christmas Carol / Gonzo the Great as Charles Dickens

It's been well documented that the costumes in this movie are more detailed and accurate than they have any right to be, including (or especially) on the Muppet characters. Here is Gonzo as Charles Dickens in all his glory. Look at his patterned waistcoat! His beautifully fitted greatcoat and top hat! His striped socks, which don't even show unless the trouser legs are specially pulled up! And just imagine being in the workshop chuckling to yourself while creating this costume, assuming nobody but you and a few costume nerd friends would ever notice the level of craftsmanship, unaware that large portions of this newfangled thing called the internet would be squeeing over them thirty years later. Ann Hollowood and Polly Smith, I salute you.
