1855 Rose Pink Evening Dress
 
|
Victorian 1850's style evening dress for Gaskell's fashioned after a fashion print
from Moniteur de la Mode c. 1855.
The finished skirt looks very similar to the fashion plate.
However, the bodice differs from the plate in several ways. Bodice neckline is more
off the shoulder in the plate. Bertha should be longer and sheer
may have been gathered down
on lower edge. The sleeves should be more slender without noticeable
gathering on sleeve or embroidered trim.
