But I recently found this wonderful striped linen. It is a lovely quality and drape and would make for a wonderful summer's gown.
And then I found this picture.

And I already made this kind of dress twice, so the patterns is true and tried.
And my 17th century shirt project is going so well that I will probably finish it within a few days and then I will need a new hand-sewing project. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a striped, 1790's gown make for a wonderful hand-sewing project? It is almost like I has no choice. Right?

Oh yes, please! What a wonderful idea. The stripey fabric would make a perfect 1790s dress :)

Oh, no choice at all. Of course, you HAVE to make it. :)
It is decided then. I can't go against fate as a friend put it. :D
That will make a gorgeous dress!
Sidenote: did you find the fabric online somewhere? I have an Ann Taylor Loft jacket that I swear is made from identical fabric, and I'd love to get my hands on more of the fabric.
Rae Arnold: I hope so!
Yes, I found it on the Web, but in a Swedish store. I'm not sure if tehy ship outside Sweden, though. The stripes are quite thin, just about 3 mm each:
