Casual Floral Colonial dress 1700s
The floral 1700s dress with periwinkle underskirt. I made this one from scratch. It’s very similar to other dresses I’ve made this summer, like the grey colonial , the blue, Lady VanTassel, and cupcake colonial. This one is cute and casual. Spring floral fabric. I bought the straw hat.
It’s not really a character yet. I need to come up with the ideal situation where I would wear this… It’s a pleasant outfit. Not too fancy. The blue underskirt isn’t as full as I’d like. I did manage to stick in some little hip pillows on top of the blue skirt tho, to hold up the floral.
1700s Historical Style.
If you’re having trouble with the timeline. After the Renaissance style 1300-1600, came the stiff and formal, ornate/extravagant styling called Baroque 1600-; which looked like the Three Musketeers for a while, very pilgrim-like, then fashion evolved into looked like Governor Swan in the first Pirates of the Caribbean film [it was a style fueled by King Louis XIV who lived 1643-1715].
Women wore headdresses made from lace and ribbons. After King Louis death, stylings softened into the elaborate Rococo style, which was still ornamental and theatrically decorative. Marie Antoinette lived 1755-1793, and had a excessively frivolous substyle all-her-own called Louis Seize 1770- [which was mostly famous for having tall wigs].
Common people looked very colonial / American Revolutionary like 1776-. Military uniforms were very stylish that decade.
Ostentatious fashions ended at The French Revolution 1789-1799.
If you like historical, I also recently did:
Colonial Grey lady. After making my Lady Van Tassel dress. I decided to try again with that same style, and make a simpler colonial bodice out of some scrap grey fabric. Nothing too fancy, no trims, just a few bows on the front. I made it all from scratch. the skirt is denim.
Cupcake Colonial. I used the same bodice style as my Lady Van Tassel and my Colonial Grey.
this fabric was a childs bed sheet. I added some lace trim on the sleeve cuffs. I made it all from scratch. the skirt is a treated scotchguard fabric. I did a few horizontal pleats at the hem.
The Blue Polonaise dress with periwinkle trim. 1770-1780s style. Similar style dress as my Lady Van Tassel, and Colonial Cupcake, and Colonial Grey.
the color on this dress reminds me of Blue diamond from Steven Universe, and Ice Queen from Adventure time
