This 1895 dress design was inspired by the seaside day wear from this period. I designed, pattern made, fitted and stitched all garments in this ensemble.
Women around this period were becoming more active and so there is plenty of reference pictures that illuminate these vibrant and playful ensembles.
This ensemble was custom made and does include all underpinnings, the chemise, corset and petticoat. The foundation garments inform the period silhouette and is essential to accurately capture the period.
