Claire in ParisThis is a red silk gown similar to that worn by the character Claire, to the Court of Louis XV. There is a corset, chemise and panniers that are worn underneath. Will fit UK sizes 10-16.
The gown is hand made in silk duchess satin, the bodice is boned and lined in silk and laces up the back. This gown is not so low cut as the gown on the show - I figured most women would not be comfortable showing quite so much cleavage. BTW - in case you are wondering how the dress will fit multiple sizes, the skirt is constructed in such a way to fit almost any size. The back half is tied around the front of the waist and then the front half ties over the top of the back. And then the bodice laces up the back and the laces can be let out to accommodate multiple sizes.

We love the costumes in this movie starring Keira Knightley & Ralph Fiennes . It is based on Amanda Foreman's biography of the late 18th century English aristocrat Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire.

Robe à la Française
This gown is a reproduction of a Saque (or sack) back gown from the 18th century, also called a robe à la française (as seen in the movie "The Duchess" with Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes). There is a complicated arrangement of pleats on the back of the gown that flows to the floor with a short train. The gown is made in silk taffeta, with a silk taffeta petticoat, silk brocade stomacher, with chemise, corset and panniers to go underneath.

The Clan Grant Wedding Dress
|
The Clan Grant Wedding Dress was inspired by the Isabella MacTavish Fraser wedding dress at the Inverness Museum & Art Gallery. This dress is special because it is the only 18th century wedding gown in tartan known to exist.
I decided to make a similar dress in Clan Grant Tartan, so here it is - the dress is shown with a navy linen petticoat and stomacher. |
