18th Century Gowns: Purple

Ever wanted to do a 1700s gown? Uhm, I like looking at pictures (though honestly, panniers are not my style), but for this contest, I had to dress my character in one... so I went the whole hog, refusing to use the Lucrezia dress to my disadvantage. But it's done - after two days and some three hours later! Well, with breaks and whatnot in between, but still.

So, enjoy my 18th century gown, and I apologize for the lack of panniers - I don't dare put my bimbo through having to lug around whalebone hoop-things in a ballroom!
