Well,that I want my sister to make for me that is (I can't make a dress from just looking at a photo)!! Were going to a Williamsburg retreat around March 18th and they'll have a ball,well I wanted to have a dress for it,with out spending a lot of money ( $20 is my limit), so hopefully I'll find some fabric for a good price at joanns!
But here's the dress I saw at Sensibility.com (photo credit is due to them as well)

It's simple and elegant! Instead of white I was thinking of blue or a light pink (my mom says those colors look good on me,so those are what I'm going for)
It's time period is 1780's and the williamsburg retreat said costumes I think from the 1700-1800 is what will be worn! I'm thinking of having elbow length sleeves and have them like this:
But the sleeves will be really full and fabric instead of lace!
Kind of hard to explain,but I'll show photos when I'm (or my sister, we'll probably both do it) finished with the dress!

9 thought(s) to note :
That sounds interesting! But I can't see the picture.
This sounds like it'll be really cute! I love this style...I actually just finished a velvet tunic in a very similar style - I did those full sleeves on it, too!(:
That sounds so pretty! I can't wait to see it!
That is beeeeautiful!
I think your dress will look beautiful! I love the Elizabeth dress your sister made. It is so pretty! :-)
Lovely dress!
CUTE!
the dress looks gorgeous!!! I wanna see pictures of you in it! :D
I think its cute to everybody,I just got the fabric and I'm going to use pink for a sash! (I actually don't really care for pink,but long story)!!
I can't wait until its created,photos are taken and to see what everybody thinks!
