I just received 10 yards of delicious ivory silk taffeta, and I'm just *itching* to make something (or a lot of somethings) out of it. Of course I'm thinking along 18th century lines - I need a petticoat and stays for my wedding gown, and Mr. C needs a waistcoat for his Regency stuff, but I'm betting I can also get an 18th century robe out of the remainder. ...but what style?
Here's a look at ivory/white/cream gowns from the 18th c.:

Mrs. Edmund Morton Pleydell, by Thomas Gainsborough, c. 1765 Museum of Fine Arts, Boston - I don't think I have enough for a Francaise, but I love the blue accent with the ivory |
 |
The Met - Robe a la Francaise 1770 |
 |
The Music Party by Loius Rolland Trinquesse, 1774 |
 |
Kyoto Costume Institute - 1790 - I have always adored this gown. It may have to be this one. |
There are, of course, OODLES of ivory and white gowns from the 18th century, in so many different styles and even materials. These are just a few I particularly liked.
Quite nicely, this itch falls in line with the Historical Sew Fortnightly's "White" Challenge, due in July (
