Here are some (not very good) photos of me wearing it! I'll have to get some better ones at my parents house later, because there is absolutely no good space to take photos in my apartment. I don't have any other 1830's things to go with it, and don't currently have plans to make any. I just wanted this dressing gown specifically.

Anyways! There are 6,957 triangles, all sewn together by machine, but most of the actual garment construction is by hand. The unevenness from all the patchwork seam allowances made it very fussy, and the tailoring took at least twice as long as it would have in a normal fabric. The velvet was also a challenge, being the soft drapey wobbly kind, but I managed. I accidentally made my triangles a bit smaller than the ones on the original (C. 1835, Powerhouse Museum collection.) which means there are more triangles than there had to be, but that's ok. I really enjoyed doing the patchwork, it's the most wonderfully soothing brainless task ever and I will definitely make more patchwork things.

I'm very happy with how it turned out! It's comfortable and fits pretty well, and is warm but not excessively so.

I kept timesheets for everything, and I haven't added them up yet, but once I do I'll know exactly how long all of this took.

I also filmed it, but the youtube video won't be out for quite a while, because I still have to write and record some more stuff and then edit a very very very very large amount of clips.

Nothing quite says the holidays like comfortable dressing gowns. And in the late 1800s, the Western market was absolutely besotted with dressing gowns--for men and women.

This 1885 deep berry dressing gown is covered in astonishingly beautiful embroidery featuring birds and lilies. It was made in Japan, specifically for Western audiences. The silk is faille, once again, so it drapes absolutely beautifully, and the detail on the pattern is one of the most stunning things I've seen in a long time. I can't even begin to wrap my head around the time and attention this would take.

The silk faille color is one of my favorites in the world. I want to personally thank LACMA for their amazing photography on this one.

Not sure if it's the same one or just a very similar one, but the dressing gown that inspired yours is currently on display in the Powerhouse museum in Sydney! The colours aren't accurate since my phone likes to oversaturate things :(

Yes, that's the one!! Thank you for the closeups! It's neat to see that some of the damaged triangles have conservation mesh sewn over them, I hadn't seen that in any of the other photos. So many nice woven textures too.

I suppose I ought to add some pictures of my version for anyone who hasn't seen it.
