Pattern: 1775-80 Robe a l'Anglaise, from The Cut of Women's Clothes, by Norah Waugh. Diagram XXII. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I love this pattern and will definitely be making it up again =) Fabric: 100% Cotton, drapery weight. Pattern is a dark blue background with a pattern of orchids and small birds in shades of blue, grey, and white. Alterations: None. I added seam allowances to the pieces (which you have to do for all the Waugh patterns, but otherwise this is made true to the size and specifications in the book. The gown is surprisingly large for an extant piece *see size below Finished Measurements: Chest: 39" Waist: 34" Hip: Free Hem: 45" at back, drag length. Upper arm circumference: 13" There was no much information in the Waugh book on construction methods, so I went with methods I'm already familiar with when making this style dress. The description does state that the original was flat-lined in the bodice, so I did that (even though I don't really like exposed seams. The original diagram in the book does not have a grid. I added the grid to make drafting easier. So what's up with the dart? In the original pattern, it shows the front section of the skirt with a rather deep dart. I questions some of the experts in one of my Facebook groups, and many were also confused at it's presence. It's certainly not standard, but it was on the original garment, so I decided to go with it. In the final result, I think the dart actually helped with the rounded shaping over the hip at that point. I might be imaging it, but it certainly didn't harm anything, so I see no reason not to do it =) The top of the skirt is shaped to accommodate the curve in the hip and the point at the center back of the bodice. I attached the skirt is small backward facing pleats I hand stitched the boning channels over the back seams so that I could have visible top-stitching on the outside. I could have just sewn the channels to the seam allowances, but I wanted the more defined look at the back that comes with top stitching through all layers The Ruching This was actually the first time I ever made rushing with the "unruffled edge". Meaning, with the stitching right at the very edge. I love the result, but it was a lot of work. I didn't want machine stitching showing anywhere, so I had to apply it all by hand. All told, making the ruching and applying it by hand was about 15 solid hours of labor. The ruching is 100% silk dupioni, but the weave is pretty tight and you can't see much slubbing when it's all ruffled up this way. The Petticoat There's really nothing special about the petticoat. It's a unshaped panel of silver-white silk, laundered, with a drawstring waist. It isn't as wide as it should be for the period, but since only the front of the petticoat is visible during wear, it really wasn't an issue. I considered making a matching petticoat for this dress, but since the pattern is already so bold and busy, I felt it would be too much visually. LOL. Below you can see my rather shoddy methods for giving my modern dress form a more 18th century silhouette. The ideal method would have been to put stays on the dress form, but I don't happen to have any at the moment, so felt and pieces of form had to do. =) As for the foundation garments, this dress is shown over a padded rump/hip pad I devised some time back. It wasn't quite full enough for this small dress form (which lacks the hips and backside of an actual wearer), so I compensating by stuffing some foam pieces under the rump pad. ~Finished!~ The fichu shown here is 100% silk gauze. I was very lucky to run across this fabric years ago. It is so delicate, it's like working with spider webs. If I had to guess, I would say the thread I used to hem the edges weighs more than the fichu itself!
