I was originally inspired by a fashion plate from Gallery of Fashion showing an "afternoon dress, in half-mourning" that combined a black robe with a white round gown. I already had a white gown, and I found a 3 yard piece of black wool in my stash that would work great for the robe. Luckily, I also had some good 1790s patterns that I had drafted for previous projects, so it ended up being a really quick and easy garment to put together.
A black robe on its own is pretty boring, but I also found lots of examples of 1790s robes edged with fur, which seemed like a perfect choice for a November picnic (you can see a variety of robe fashion plates here). I picked up a yard of faux fur and used this to trim the edges of the robe, and I also made a new muff since the 1790s is ALL about the accessories.
Turbans are the most common type of headwear that women seemed to wear with this type of gown, and the crazy-long feathers add such a fun finishing touch. Since I was short on time, I made a really simple fixed turban by tacking a long strip of silk over a wool hat blank. I also wore my curly grey wig to try to mimic the look of the ladies in these fashion plates.
So that's pretty much it! My obsession with 1790's fashion knows no bounds, and it was a lot of fun to make another robe to add to my growing collection.
As usual, I'll post a few of my favorite photos here, and the rest are on Flickr.
Good to hear from you again. Stunning outfit, as ever.

ReplyDeleteThe last photo in particular is stunning - just like a Gallery of Fashion plate. Your work is amazing and inspirational.
ReplyDeleteOh goody! Another post from you of a new make! You are always so absolutely picture perfect. Such an inspiration! I've been feeling serious love of 1790s open robes over the past year and now you've made me desperately want one with sleeves - and in wool, my favourite fabric! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteYou and the gown are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning as always! I'm especially in love with the muff.
ReplyDeletesmashing recreation of one of my favourite fashion plates. So much to love, but in particular I am quite enamoured of the faux fur muff, where did you find the fabric? I have a couple of sources, but always prefer a recommend, especially if it was an online purchase. Thank you!

Pembroke Welsh Corgis are good with children as long as they're respected; some tend to nip at the heels. Pembrokes can get along well with cats and other pets if socialized when young, but might not be keen on other dogs. The Pembroke corgi is somewhat suspicious around strangers and must be trained to not growl. Pembroke Welsh Corgis are often domineering over each other .

ReplyDeleteA half-mourning robe is a garment traditionally worn during the mourning period, a time of grieving for a deceased loved one. Unlike the deep black attire typically worn in the early stages of mourning, a half-mourning robe is characterized by its transitional colors, often featuring shades of gray, lavender, or muted purples. These garments represent the gradual return to normalcy after an initial period of intense mourning. Half-mourning robes offer a way for individuals to convey their respect for the departed while allowing for a subtle reintegration into everyday life. The choice of colors may vary depending on cultural and personal preferences. Abogado Transito Frederick VA

ReplyDelete"Half-mourning robes offer a unique blend of grace and resilience during times of transition. Their elegant designs and subdued colors speak to the deep respect and remembrance of those we've lost, while the comfort they provide is a gentle reminder that healing and renewal are part of the journey. In wearing a half-mourning robe, we honor the past and embrace the future with grace."
