Belvidere

[robinsnest]

Starting to get excited for Belvidere this year. I have a plan, fabric should arrive tomorrow. TV patterns already arrived. So who's going? We're planning to invade on Saturday, if you're in the area it's really one of my favorite events.


I know it's not my typical LOUDness but somehow this dress spoke to me. I've doing natural form as our friend Mick has an amazing camp that's set up for 1882. But honestly Belvidere is pretty much anything from hoops to 80s prom dresses to gorgeous bustles. Anything goes.

This weekend: WE PLEAT ENDLESSLY!

Or find a pleating service. Seriously. That's what a period dress make would have done!

I pleated 45 yards of silk gauze for a hem this summer. Am soooo burned out on pleating for the moment.

The dress is lovely. Love the use of the dark brown. Has the hem of the pleats been frayed?

Beautiful gown - will be gorgeous on you!

I am not sure if I am going. I gained weight and do not fit in my gowns - so I am all depressed about life and want to just lie on my sofa and wallow in a private pity party.

Oooh, that is a fabulous gown! Can't wait to see your interpretation of it!
