Costume Closet 06: Marie Antoinette


Technically, this Marie Antoinette costume comes out of Laura's closet, but I made it so it still counts. :P

The dress was made a few years ago from the Mill Farm robe polonaise pattern, and consists of a separate skirt, hip pads, and a steel-boned bodice with an attached overskirt. I used a great brocade from this eBay seller I seem to no longer be able to find, along with cheap lace from JoAnn's and a stunning taffeta. Which I ruined. By running it through the wash before using it, so that all the glue disappeared. Yeah, I don't know. Moment of stupidity.

There's a picture of the dress in full after the jump. As it wasn't made for me, it doesn't fit precisely.
