Purple Eliza 1770s
So, this dress is basically a recreation of a dress from the stage musical: Hamilton. in a different color. Also see my Azure blue dress, which is a very similar style.
I wanted to make this because I fell in love with the musical Hamilton.
It's still the 2020 pandemic lockdown, and I'm still at home all the time. So I've watch the show a few times.
This dress is a long sleeve, 1770s style dress, worn with a cone shaped stay. I made it myself from scratch.
I'm a little annoyed at the amount of wrinkling going on at the front. But oh well.
The hair style is accomplished with 3 curly ponytail clip on extensions.
I also made the fancy blue mans 1805 coat in the photos.
If you’re having trouble with the fashion timeline. After the Renaissance styles 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 something looked like Governor Swan in the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, in a powdered wig [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 lady wigs]. but the common people looked very colonial / American Revolutionary like 1776-. Military uniforms were very stylish that decade. and Ostentatious fashions ended at The French Revolution 1789-1799, Which is when things got very Napoleon, and Jane Austen.
IF you like historical fashion styles, also see my: Renaissance lady, Edwardian black, Edwardian walking, Victorian blue, or regency Green or regency Blue.
