Here's the pattern: http://www.lafnmoon.com/product_p/p126.htm
You can see the stripes a little here.
With it I wore my 1870s paste flower brooch, my antique Napoleon III comb, my fan made my Gloria, my Georgian earrings, my 1820s ring, and also a new ring purchase which I'll blog about later. The necklace is modern. Oh and my shawl. It's fun that I've been able to collect enough antique pieces to go with my costumes!

Edited to add - here's a close-up of the fabric:
Really pretty! Love the bodice gathering.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteYour dress turned out SO pretty! So light, feminine, and joyful! Accessories really do transform a look, don't they? Yours are covetous!! Why they don't make tiara combs like that anymore for love or money is beyond me when there is SUCH a market for them.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you Kat! Accessories and jewelry really do make a look. And they really need to make tiara combs like this again. The antique ones are so pretty!
DeleteI'm glad you blogged about the Laughing Moon pattern, I've got it as well and will be making a dress shortly. Just have to finish my stays (almost done) and make a shift as my current shifts are different era's and it's obvious they're not right.
ReplyDeleteOh great! Good luck! I was very happy with it. I kind of thought I might have made it too small, but that was just because I sewed the sleeves on the wrong way the first time. It fit really well after that.
Deletethe dress turned out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteYou all looked absolutely stunning!

ReplyDeleteBlessings!
