So I'm thinking of making a crossover front ballgown.
But I'm not quite sure if this sort of thing actually existed, seems to me the crossover bodice was mostly worn as a more casual dress. At least I have never seen an extant garment that was intended for evening wear with a crossover bodice.
Have any of you seen any crossover front dresses used as ballgowns and do u think it would be un period to do so?

I love those prints, especally the white and red dress. thanks for sharing these!
But it seems to me the one is an overdress and the other is actually a shawl wrapped in a crossover fashion. then again i could be wrong.

Dawn,
The pictures that I've included that are click-able have all been uploads from my computer, rather than links to photos on a web page. I've been looking to see if there is another way to do it, but haven't found anything about it in the help files of this forum.
Kindly,
~Barbara,
sometimes helpful moderator ;-)

Thank you Barbara. These images are hosted on my Photobucket. I know Steph has been able to help me in the past with it, but I have no idea how she did it. I'm willing to learn!  Photobucket is the only way I know how to share images on line.... |

The second linked picture, this one: content.lib.washington.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/costumehist&CISOPTR=19&CISOBOX=1&REC=14 is actually probably a shawl that was cut and made into a dress. See how the sleeves are clearly separate and puffy? I have seen extant examples (lord knows where) of dresses that were made this way, from one or two of the shawls. Aside, while we're talking about code: does anyone know how to make a link in the text? In HTML, you'd use <a href="url">click me!</a>, but I don't really know BBCode at all and I can't figure it out. |
