Here is one of my favorite dresses I've ever sewn-an exquisite lacy tea gown made from the Sense & Sensibility pattern! I wore this gown in a stunning mansion..
Once the tea gown was wearable, I added a few extra bits and bobs. First, covered buttons. I bought several sizes, since I didn't know which would look best on the finished gown, and ended up using sizes 45, 36, and 30 on the top, and sizes 60, 45, and another 45 on the bottom,…
I’m doing this a bit backwards as clearly you know that the tea gown is done (albeit done in a sort of “sew in haste, unpick at leisure”). However I did take photos and notes as I sewed, and as I haven’t found many other tea-gown recreations done by other historical costumers, and as I did quite a bit of research, I thought it might be helpful if I posted about my process. So, a tea gown! We already know exactly what a tea gown is. That was the starting point for my research. In order to make one, I needed to know exactly what I was making. That out of the way, I needed to design my own tea gown. I knew what I wanted in a tea gown: ca. 1900, really the height of the tea gown fashion over-robe, open front effect Watteau pleats & 18th century inspiration A mix of fabrics and textures After assembling a pinterest board of research and inspiration, I went with three main pieces of inspiration: First my …

I've picked a VERY exciting Rate the Dress: an 1890s Pingat tea gown (probably) that caused quite a stir when I shared it on Instagram earlier this week. Â
Last week’s rate the dress was a probably-by Callot Soeurs gown in what-do-we-call-this-bronze-blush-champagne with intricate embroidery. A few people weren’t so enthusiastic, but most of you loved the dress – so much so it’s going to get a bit polygamous, because a number of us are in line to marry it. (me too!). The final rating was 9.3 out of 10. I’m currently obsessing over paisley, because I’m giving a talk on Paisley at CoCo, so this week’s Rate the Dress is on-theme. In fact, it manages to combine paisley with another one of my obsessions: tea gowns. This tea gown is an example of a mid-century paisley shawl which has been re-made into a fitted garment. This practice was very common from the late 1870s onwards, as shawls fell out of fashion as bustles came in, but the actual shawl fabric was still valued. Though paisley shawls of the 1860s were ENORMOUS, they still don’t contain enough fabric to make a full trained tea gown, so the dressmaker has combined the wool shawl with …
Well, I appear to be on a theme roll, because once again I’ve picked a dress with front view vs back view. This one is quite intentional though: it’s a tea gown with a specific over-robe effect. Last Week: an early 1860s dress in blue floral silk Last week’s dress was the opposite of the week before’s. A fortnight ago you liked the back view but not the front, last week you loved the front, but if you had any quibbles it was that you thought the additional back tails were awkward and misplaced. The dress was also quite different to last weeks in that many of you absolutely loved it – somewhat to my surprise. The Total: 8.9 out of 10 Not quite perfection, but getting there! This week: an 1890s Liberty Tea Gown This Liberty tea gown has all the classic elements that make a tea gown: a robe effect with an unbroken line flowing past the waist, rather decadent sleeves, and elements of exoticism and romantic historicism. It’s no surprise this tea …

House of Worth | Tea gown | French | The Met The sleeves and collar of this teagown reference the early 17th century, which was a common period for Worth to draw from. Although it appears to be a loose garment, the understructure is boned. Even though the garment would not have required such structure for its use, women were often more comfortable when retaining their armor. The economic use of fabric employing the selvedges as a decorative detail was also commonly practiced by Worth.
This week's Rate the Dress is a tea gown in the aesthetic style which combines comfort and (relative) ease of wearing with the luxurious fabrics and whimsical use of trim.
