mouai.. c'est bizarre parce que toute les autre robe victorienne que j'ai vu ne ressemble pas a celle ci... ca ca fait plutot renaissance... pas époque victorienne
@Vampiremoonlight2011 L'époque victorienne a été de l'années 1837-1901... pendant ces ans il y avait beaucoup styles differant. Coudre ma robe, j'ai copié (plus ou moins) une robe antique de 1838 et il a changé un peu d'être 1840 au lieu. (je suis très désolé pour mon mauvais français)
@BronxRapper Actually people DID wear glasses back then. When you look at old Victorian photos (or Tin Type or daguerreotypes... popular in the 1840's but costly) you can see many folks wearing glasses... young women included. In fact, I own a pair of glasses (passed down through the family) that date somewhere from the mid 1800's.
is the contrast piping usual for this time period and are those buttons on the front? i LOVE the look and color - its very flattering. may have to try 1840's too! :)
Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837. This dress is in the style of the early 1840s, which, while still at the beginning of Victoria's reign, is definitely Victorian.
@UchihaLilith89 Yes, Queen Victoria had quite a long run as ruler... and her era spans many different fashions. While this is very early in her reign this gown is certainly victorian.
My girl friend is menight (amish ) and wears old dresses if we ever get married she will convert to my church, but she will still dress in 19th century clothing becouse she do's not feel comfurtable wearing modern clothing I think this type of dress would look good on her and would not stand out as much as menight (amish) clothing
Nice...wish we could wear them these days.

People did not wear glasses back then. Apart from that, excellent work. It is like stepping back in time.

@BronxRapper People DID wear glasses in the 1840s. In fact, Benjamin Franklin invented bifocals.

Do you have the pattern for it?
AirAang12 2 years ago
I adapted the pattern from a couple of the 1840s bodice and sleeve options in Jean Hunnisett's "Period Costumes for Stage & Screen 1800-1909".
