I love the clothes of the 18th century. So, I thought I would share some of my favorites. These have aided me in the writing of my historicals, and if you are writing in the genre, then be sure to research the clothing of the era your story is set in. Is this gown not beautiful? It is newly made for a wedding dress made of pale pink silk. If I was a young bride today, this is the dress I would want, even if it did cost me an arm and a leg. Go to the Rossetti website to view more images of this stunning gown. In US dollars it costs $4565. Close up shots really show the beauty and amazing craftsmanship of the embroidery and lace. http://www.rossetti.vispa.com/c18-17.html In the novel I am currently writing, Before the Scarlet Dawn, my heroine Eliza Morgan has stitched a beautiful gown and wears it to her first social gathering in the Colonies. It is July, and she knows all the ladies will no doubt be wearing calico and soft, pale cottons due to the heat. But when her husband's eyes glow with pleasure with her in it, she is convinced it is the right choice. This gown also by Rossetti, is the perfect image of what I have in mind for Eliza. I took this photo at a historical fair at Rose Hill Manor in Frederick, Maryland. If only I had not gotten the table legs in the photo it would have been much better. How important is dress to you while reading a historical novel? When writing, do you include brief descriptions of the clothing your characters are wearing? What moments in a story are most important when it comes to including the gown your heroine is wearing, or the suit of clothes your hero has donned?

What was the fashion in the 18th century like? Who were they influenced by and what were the main fashion trends of Marie Antoinette's era?

The 18th century saw the peak of the Age of Enlightenment. This was focused very much on reason (in various forms, some of which we don’t really use today), but also on values such as liberty, progress, tolerance, fraternity and more. These values were all based on the (re)discovered idea that humans had power over […]

My favorite surviving 18th century stays can be found in the Victoria & Albert museums collections. As my previous stays were starting to show signs of wear, I thought it was a good time to make my version of them. The top layer is light brown cotton, the next two layers underneath are linen canvas and the lining is of fine white linen. They are completely hand stitched, mainly with pale blue linen thread, but I also used white linen occasionally and silk twist for the back lacing holes. The pattern is my own and, as I was drawing it, I tried to achieve a close resemblance to the original stays but also to achieve a better fit than in all my previous stays. I have an x body type, and my previous stays have been too tubular to fit me well. I used cane for boning. I was planning on experimenting with high land cattle horn for durability, but as I haven't had problem with snapping in my previous stays and these were to become almost fully boned, I chose 1/4 inch wide flat caning that I narrowed down to an almost tooth pick width of 2-3 mm. The front and back bones are narrowed down from a sturdier 1/2 inch wide flat cane. The seams are covered with narrow silk ribbon and the stays are bound with straight cut self fabric strips as it looks like it was done that way in the original stays too. Armholes are bound with ivory chamois leather. Close-ups The construction: First I outlined the pieces by stitching around the edges through all three layers. After they were outlined, I stitched the boning channels. Then I boned the channels. I turned under the center front and center back edges and made the lacing holes. Then I turned under the seam allowances and whip stitched them down. I joined the pieces by whip stitching, covered the seams and started binding the stays. I finished the binding an added shoulder traps. The last step was adding the lining.

I thought I'd step back in time a little bit farther and open up my trunk of "Marie Antoinette" time period fashions to share. These fashion plates from the late 18th century (1778-1787). I can't help but think of Queen Marie whenever I look at them. This fashion style could also be referred to as Georgian; however for me, since these plates are French... I consider them to be Marie Antoinette Fashions. For me - "Marie Antoinette fashions" have the distinctive look of being an elaborate gown with panniers, giving them "wide in the hip" look as well as the tall and fancy powdered hairdos. An EKDuncan digital are piece using one of the "Marie's" I created the above digital art-piece using a great French fashion plate and combining that with a variety of other patterns, designs, old handwritten text and even an oriental rug beneath her feet. I love taking antique images like the above "Marie", altering them and using them to create new art. It's just so much fun to do! I can't resist playing with images to see how I can manipulate them digitally in Photoshop. (It's just one of those quirky, artsy things I do.) In the case of this "Marie" - I removed the original background to create a png image. Next I altered her digitally to create several dress color versions for a bit of variety. See what you think? Late 18th Century Fashion Plate from "Galerie des Modes et Costumes" This is the original fashion plate I started with. I created my EKD versions by removing the background, making some tonal and exposure adjustments; then I had a bit of fun with color adaptations. Here are the "Marie's" I created Marie Fancy Fashion #1 - Red Marie Fancy Fashion #1 - Gold Marie Fancy Fashion #1 - Green Marie Fancy Fashion #1 - Peacock Marie Fancy Fashion #1 - Pink Marie Fancy Fashion #1 - Slate Blue I did this same process with a few fashions plates so I could create some fun artwork. Join me next time to see a fun scene I created using some of these Marie's and "Friends". Till Next time...

A reproduction of an 18th century ladies' riding habit suit, to be made to the buyers measurements. Consisting of 3 parts: Jacket, Waistcoat, and Petticoat. All visible stitching and top work will be done by hand. Buttonholes to be done by hand or machine (see purchase options). I have red linen and blue linen shown, but fabric options can be discussed =) The habit shown in the images is one I finished for another customer. To see many more photos and construction details, please visit the blog post here: https://antiquesewist.blogspot.com/2018/12/jp-ryan-riding-habit-red-linen.html JACKET: Includes 30 decorative buttons and decorative buttonholes. The closure at the center front is with hooks and eyes. The coat looks very well fully closed or left open over the waistcoat. The collar, cuffs, and front edges are interfaced with linen buckram. the pockets are functional and are about 5" deep. WAISTCOAT: Ends just past the natural waist. The front closure is with 10 buttons. The fronts are interfaced along the edge with linen buckram. The back is done with natural color linen and has lacing eyelets to adjust fit. PETTICOAT: The hem and the visible stitching along the side openings is done by hand. This petticoat is cut in the standard 18th century style, with a separate back and front waistband, opens at the sides. The back is cut 3" longer than the front to fit over a rump pad or bumroll, but that can be changed to whatever undergarments you plan to wear Buttonholes: There are two purchase options. One for machine made buttonholes, and another for handmade buttonholes. Making buttonholes by hand is very labor intensive, and for this riding habit represents almost 10 hours of work alone. This is why I now offer a separate price option for them. Since the buttonholes are all decorative, several past customers have expressed an interest in machined buttonholes for a reduced price :)
