This was the inspiration:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Für die &lt;a href="http://www.kandertal.travel/de/belle_epoque" target="_blank"&gt;Belle Epoque Woche Kandersteg&lt;/a&gt; wollte ich, passend zum Titanicjahr, ein Ballkleid um 1912 nähen, inspiriert von diesen Modebildern: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Da die Abendmode dieser Epoche hauptsächlich leichte fließende Materialien verwendet, oft zwei oder mehr unterschiedliche Materialien, habe ich petrolfarbenen Seidensatin und schwarzen Seidenchiffon ausgewählt.&amp;nbsp;

Luckily I am able to buy treasures like this here in London.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Die Perlenborte am Ausschnitt ist neu, die Perlfransendeko am Gürtel ist ein antikes Stück aus dem späten 19. Jahrhundert.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;Glücklicherweise kann man solche Schätze hier leicht finden.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dress has a fitted and boned underbodice inside and a kimono sleeved crossover bodice of black chiffon on top. It is constructed like a typical dress of the period with the skirt being closed on top of the fitted bodice.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Das Kleid hat eine enganliegende Futtertaille, auf der die restliche zweilagige Taille konstruiert ist. Die oberste Lage hat Kimonoärmel und überkreuzt sich an der vorderen Mitte. Die Mode dieser Zeit hatte oft komplizierte und vielschichtige Verschlüsse, daher wird der Rockteil des Kleides über der Taille mit Haken und Riegeln geschlossen. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9164164518528326356-8908334666707511741?l=nehelenia78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nehelenia78.blogspot.com/feeds/8908334666707511741/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nehelenia78.blogspot.com/2012/02/1910s-ballgown.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9164164518528326356/posts/default/8908334666707511741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9164164518528326356/posts/default/8908334666707511741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nehelenia78.blogspot.com/2012/02/1910s-ballgown.html' title='1910s ballgown'/><author><name>nehelenia78</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00594695682225500661</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9edoc3eHqH0/TYnAtkVsWuI/AAAAAAAAAF0/yIbgBbrahDY/s220/pp%2Bzombie%2Bava.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sfkQ1boYTSI/Ty2eS6SA2fI/AAAAAAAAAIo/c3hzbcQXUtk/s72-c/IMG_6599.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164164518528326356.post-7271934563829548551</id><published>2011-10-30T12:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-30T12:07:08.091-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regency'/><title type='text'>new Regency dress</title><content type='html'>Here are some pictures of my latest Regency dress, taken at a costume photoshoot this month in Bedfordshire:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ein paar Bilder von meinem juengsten Empirekleid, ganz stilecht abgelichtet in einem herrlichen englischen Landhaus: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

So now I am finally making this cute little outfit for myself. I bought some nice warm wool fabric in a plum shade and started making up the little pierrot jacket. You can only guess what's going on behind her arm, so I decided to make a false zone front and use horizontal stripes instead of vertical. A little in-progress piccie:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dieses Bild ist ein alter Liebling von mir und war lange das Eingangsbild auf meiner website. Nun habe ich einen warmen Wollstoff in Pflaume und habe mit der Pierrotjacke begonnen. Da die Front im Bild teils von einem Arm verdeckt ist kann man nur raten was sich dahinter verbirgt. Ich habe mich fuer zone front anstelle eines Steckers entschieden und ausserdem fuer Laengs- statt Querstreifen:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fF1r_yKUDzY/Tq2d7Pfdy-I/AAAAAAAAAHw/IoMDR15LADE/s1600/IMG_6129.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fF1r_yKUDzY/Tq2d7Pfdy-I/AAAAAAAAAHw/IoMDR15LADE/s320/IMG_6129.JPG" width="220" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;And that's all folks!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9164164518528326356-5337941792758510271?l=nehelenia78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nehelenia78.blogspot.com/feeds/5337941792758510271/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nehelenia78.blogspot.com/2011/10/winter-warmer-from-1791.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9164164518528326356/posts/default/5337941792758510271'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9164164518528326356/posts/default/5337941792758510271'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nehelenia78.blogspot.com/2011/10/winter-warmer-from-1791.html' title='A winter warmer from 1791'/><author><name>nehelenia78</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00594695682225500661</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9edoc3eHqH0/TYnAtkVsWuI/AAAAAAAAAF0/yIbgBbrahDY/s220/pp%2Bzombie%2Bava.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W5rLwwwBNHw/Tq2dNYn03fI/AAAAAAAAAHo/W0NhWg-gCR0/s72-c/1791.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164164518528326356.post-6061924848086844498</id><published>2011-09-13T03:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-13T03:34:45.878-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regency'/><title type='text'>a dress for Jane Austen festival</title><content type='html'>Finally some sewing content!! I hardly ever had the time to make something for myself recently. But a new dress was needed for this weekend's Jane Austen festival in Bath! We will have a stall at the Country Fair on Saturday at the Guildhall. Please come along and chat with us if you're in town!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dress is a plain front closing one, made of a pretty cotton print I had lying around. I adore the pretty drawstring front and elbow length sleeves. I even made this entirely by hand, despite being short on time.&lt;br /&gt;I actually did want a new ballgown as well, but since time is short I shall be wearing an old dress to the ball. &lt;br /&gt;Please excuse the crappy picture, I hope there will be nicer ones taken on the weekend! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nach langer Zeit endlich ein update. Ich bin einfach nie dazu gekommen, mal was fuer mich selbst zu naehen. Aber fuer das Jane Austen festival in Bath war ein neues Kleid erforderlich. Wir werden einen Stand auf der Country Fair am Samstag haben, solltet ihr dort sein kommt vorbei und plaudert mit uns!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Das Kleid ist ein schlichtes Baumwollkleid mit Frontverschluss aus einem Druckstoff, den ich noch im Schrank hatte. Der Tunnelzugverschluss und die halblangen Aermel sind spezielle Lieblinge von mir. Handgenaeht, trotz Zeitmangel! :)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ich wollte auch gern ein neues Ballkleid haben, werde aber nun ein altes zum Ball tragen muessen.
