#mirrormonday at Kristinehofs malmgård many years ago. This white 1790s gown in embroidered linen is probably one of my most worn gowns.

Finished my Robe Volante which have been in my UFO pile for several years. Black silk taffeta and metal lace from my stash. I need to do a few changes in the front, but in the while I’m pleased with it. Though my hoops has a nervous breakdown when we were about to leave and had to stay at home. I never thought wearing a black tent would feel so flattering.

On a historical picnic this day a couple of years back. 1740s black wool jacket after Janet Arnold. Annoyingly the under petticoat showed, otherwise this is one of my favourite 18th century outfits.

Even with barely shoulder length hair you can do semi-high 18th century hair. As Flora for a Georgian masked ball in Bath.

I haven’t done any 18th century since August, and I miss it. Here in the park of Svartsjö palace a couple of years ago. Closed front, mid-18th century robe francaise in brown silk taffeta.

Growing increasingly less fond with IG, but still loving the concept if it, I hope this can be a suitable substitute.

Peplum is in place and lining is attached at center front. Still to do: sleeves and collar, and whip stitching the lining over the peplum seam. Then it's over to @maco for finishing (buttonholes and stitching sleeve lining to sleeve facing) while I work on Maco's saque. We still have hopes of being done by Saturday.
