If I ever make a bustle gown (nit very likely), this is the gown I would like to make. Unfortunately I don’t know the lady, she was part if a batch of old photos a family friend gave me when I was a kid.

If I ever find the right fabric, I would love to recreate this gown! The dots! The Sleeves! The bodice! The buttons! She comes from great-great grandmother Laura’s photoalbum, but I don’t know if she’s a relative, of a friend. Either way I definitely think it was taken in the 1860s.

This gown, worn by my great-great grandmother Laura, probably around 1870, is very high on my wishlist. I just need to find the right checkered fabric…. I think it’s so pretty! Laura was born in 1840, in a fairly wealthy family, but her father died a month before she was born, and her mother when she was just 6. She seems to have had a lifelong ”problem with her nerves”, which sounds like chronic depression to me.
