Gun Deck Tea Time!
Our task was to create a complete outfit that would’ve been suitable for a lieutenant’s wife on a Napoleonic gun deck for an 1805 reenactment.
What an excuse for a perfect bit of research!
We studied 5 shifts at Bath, 3 corset options at Hereford and online images sourcing, dug through our collection of images for regency under-dresses and then went back to Bath to look at 2 possible gowns. What an amazing time!
The cream coloured gown that we chose as the pattern we were going to use, was such a simple stunner – white worked every-so-gently that it melted the heart. Honestly these gowns are so beautifully made! We also have 5 new shifts to start making as we took a pattern of all of the ones we studied too.
Anyway, what you really want is the images.
Oh and ones last note – none of these items are listed in our Online Shop yet – the whole outfit was made for a customer but we shall be remaking it and listing it up. Please message us if you’d like to know more.
