to Write a Poem called The Ladys Dressing Room, both offer a close examination of gender and social view within 18th century upper-class society
Delicate bodice straps support a generous skirt and train creating a gorgeously, feminine silhouette
I cut the fabric into 7 pieces: 4 pieces for the skirt (length measure from waist to bottom, I made the back pieces a bit longer to give it ab bit of a train, width: I just took the fabric width which was 45"/114 cm), 2 pieces for the "top" (length circa from waist to shoulder, rather make it a bit longer, you can cut it later, width, I just cut the fabric in half so the pieces are about 22.5"/57 cm), 1 piece for the train, mine is about 2 yards/1.8 meters long and 45" wide (however If I would have hade enough fabric I would have sewn two pieces together to make it wider....) Here I just pinned the pieces to my dress form to see how it will look
If I want to wear more classic jewelry and shoes, I will pair them with a top or pants that are a little trendier
By the way, if baggy jeans arent your style, thats OK
