1860's Day Dress

Description

This is a 1860's Civil war era day dress made on a half scale dress form.

I was made for my costume construction class. We each had to pick and era from the 11th Century through the 1950's and recreate a garment from that era.

I actually constructed a cage crinoline made of electrical wire and bias tape which is fixed to the dress form in order to create the crinoline silhouette.

The ruffles were all hand made with ribbon and it has a small train in the back.

This dress easily took about 40-50 hours to complete but I love the result!
