The back is pleated.
Oh, the joys of working with a symmetrical pattern!

18th century re-enactment day pour moi as you can tell by the heart-shaped sunglasses. Forgot my apron though, so am practically naked.

What if vampires have pale faces because they're still wearing their 18th century lead makeup?

Selfie of Heidi, a 41 year old cosplay model known as Chimera Costumes, in a hand sewn red silk 18th century gown. She is wearing white foundation and red lipstick. Her hair is teased into a vaguely historical looking bouffant. She's standing outside in a Florida park.

I adore the *very serious* gossip poses @boseph158 (insta) and I all did in our courtly attire!

The owner of this cherished 18thC cane wished to preserve the possibly original tassel, and so a silk replica of the satin-wrapped and grappe ball tassel has been a lovely commission to complete 🧵 #silkwork #silkewoman #passementerie #18thcenturyfashion

Hand-embroidered and hand-sewn pocket in the style of centuries past. This took forever for me to make! I need to choose how to wear and attach it, but otherwise it's complete.

RoboFop
A humanoid robot with a sleek, polished silver body adorned with ornate gold accents reminiscent of 18th-century artistry. The robot wears a silver helmet with a single horizontal eye slit. The figure wears a stylized high-collared coat with intricate patterns, subtly inspired by Rococo fashion, paired with a modern twist on a frilled cravat. The head features a streamlined helmet that includes elegant, flowing metallic curls, mimicking the aesthetic of a powdered wig. The robot stands in a setting that merges futuristic architecture with hints of classical grandeur, holding a decorative, futuristic cane with a glowing tip. The design captures a harmonious blend of sci-fi and historical elegance.

Gloria here. This was my first 18th century gown that I ever made, in 2009-2010. I’m glad some of my older costumes still hold up! These photos are from a @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event last year. #18thcenturyfashion #historicalcostumer #cosplayphotography #costumeandcamera

Gloria here. Saragobragh (IG) and I did not plan to wear similar 1780s gowns and fichus to the last @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event; it was a happy coincidence. We had to grab some shots together! #historicalcostuming #18thcenturyfashion #cosplayphotography #bellecosplay
