I've been working on a new style polonaise style jacket with matching bodice and a skirt, overskirt and detachable train, all in ivory taffeta, lace and chiffon. This gown can be worn with or without a bustle and takes its inspiration from the late 1880's. Also, a slight departure for me; an eliptical crinoline/hoops with trained skirt and a bodice dating to around the 1860's and made from soft white cotton lawn trimmed with lace.
Photographs will follow with a preview here soon. Talking of previews I received the proofs of the pages for 'Steampunk Fashion by Samuel Radcliffe with Graffito Books'
