Petra's Sewing Box Colonial Dress

Or, since it is more formal attire, it should be be called a "gown" -- as we learned yesterday after perusing the Colonial Williamsburg online exhibit we gave y'all a link for.

Today Elizabeth Royall is modeling a colonial set from Ebay seller petrassewingbox: http://myworld.ebay.com/petrassewingbox/

It's a lovely "gown" with a very full skirt and lots of detailing. And we love the color scheme. Again, we added in a necklace for the photos. This set came with the pinner cap you see below.

Like yesterday, we have a starter pic and then a video. The music is "La Belle Cavalier." Enjoy!

And for educational purposes, we wanted to share this link to the Costume Design Center at Colonial Williamsburg: http://www.history.org/history/clothing/designcenter/index.cfm It has loads of cool stuff to look at, and many resources about making historical reproduction costumes -- which is a full-time job at CW.

Thanks for visiting us today!
