Fashion

This indexed collection of beautiful costumes made by
Katharine at The Fashionable
Past Dress Site range from
the 1700s to the 1920s.

This
blue printed cotton 1780s gown (left) comes from
a pattern used by a woman during the French Revolution,
dated from the 1790s.

The glass beading of this
1862 ball gown for the mourning of Prince Albert is exquisite.

I would like to replicate this style of
late-Regency dress,
although I might instead use floral embroidery.

I think Katharine lives and works in the south-west US.

Her dresses are beautiful and perfectly crafted. She is made for it.

One of the most impressive is the 1530s Tudor dress,
for sure. She also has
patterns, design details, and antique
clothing online. I think her work is super cool.
