Planned Costumes

Blue Floral Robe a l'Anglaise


Inspiration

Fabric

(Robe à l'Anglaise, 1770-75, Silk, metallic. The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

My fabric is quilting cotton from the Looking Back collection by Moda.  I plan to make both a matching floral petticoat (if I have enough yardage) and a contrasting pink ruffled petticoat, along with several coordinating stomachers.

Pale Blue French Court Gown


Inspiration

Fabric

(Robe a la francaise [French or Austrian] The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

My fabric is in the form of two skirts, two dresses, and two tops from a discontinued line of bridesmaid designs.  I would dearly love to make a robe a la francaise, but none of the pieces are long enough to make the shoulder-to-floor pleated back section.  I am debating between a robe a l'anglaise and a pet-en-l'air, instead.
