Stripes of 18th centuryby ~lill-sara

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Costumes / Period & Historical

18th century dress with polonaise. It´s based on RH822 (slightly changed and without the anglais-pleating in the back).

The dress is made from a grey/black striped wool, the petticoat is made from a thin grey wool.

It´s worn over these stays

Here is another photo of this dress.

I love the stripes! This reminds me of the simple, clean lines of dresses that maids would wear in wealthy households. Sometimes when you compare them to the extremes of fashion that the rich wore, the servants costumes have this kind of understated elegance that stands out by contrast.

Thanks!
Yes, not everyone wore huge panniers and excessive pearl embroideries! I love the more simple dresses of the period, less is usually more

You're right, less is definitely more!
