18th century striped anglaise

I found this fabric on ebay and held onto it for a LONG time before using it!

Here is the web page for my costume construction details and more photos:

I originally meant to copy this gown from the KCI collection.


 But then the gown felt plain so I added some trim. Here are a few pics from Costume Con 2009.  (I didn't have a cap yet to wear under the hat, but the hat is another one that came from The Patriot!)
