edwardian-time-machine:edwardian-time-machine:I don’t know why I’m getting myself into all these projects, knowing I’m a medical student. But how can I resist making this?! I can’t wait to work with velvet. I’m still trying to find a very good base pattern for the bodice. The closest one I can find is a Truly Victorian one but the sleeves are shorter than ¾ length. Ugh lol. I’m sure I can manage. Any advice or resources are more than welcome.Correction: The original post from the Met says the dress is silk, but it just looks like velvet to me. Should I stick with silk or go with black velvet?Silk is a fiber. Velvet is a weave. The dress is probably silk velvet. -- source link
