Summary
I’ve been obsessed with Marie Antoinette lately, and I decided I had to try making a dress inspired by her. I’m no professional seamstress, but I figured, how hard could it be? (Spoiler: harder than I thought!).
Finding the right fabric was a whole adventure in itself. The skirt was a bit easier – basically just a giant rectangle gathered at the waist. The real challenge was figuring out the panniers, the understructure things that make that wide shape.
I looked in the mirror and saw myself in this photo. I looked like this. I felt like this, too. This is what I look like.
