I only now realised I never posted pictures of my closed-front robe à la française. Well, it was finished (sort-of)

and worn at the ball in June, and I had an absolute blast:
(that is what happens when you attach them five minutes before you really should leave…). And the decorations on the

Dear Isis,
The gown is lovely. The color suits so well, and enjoying seeing a 1760s ensemble. The earlier parts of the century don't get as much attention...
ZipZip: Thank you! And I agree, it really needs more love! :)
