I made the original dress for Cathy in a burgundy cotton but I wasn't happy with the way the fabric draped. This version is made with silk dupion and I think it looks much better. I love working with silk and the jewel-like colours are wonderful.
The bodice was particularly fiddly to make and comprises ten separate pieces. I'm not quite sure that the peplum is accurate for the late 18th Century. The chemise is made in a soft cotton that I often use for lining.
The wig is from Facets by Marcia.
