I love the colour of the dress, too. Particularly the ruching or fine tucks. I've just made a 1780s polonaise with the authentic boned stays to go underneath for my History through Costume talks to promote my Regency espionage romance 'The Reluctant Bride' that's just been released. It's set between the French Revolution and the Battle of Waterloo, hence the costume dating back that far. It also won Choc Lit's Search for an Australian Star competition.<br /><br />Please drop me an email with your details and I'll send you the code for you to download The Reluctant Bride.<br /><br />Thanks for entering:)<br /><br />BeverleyBeverley Eikli aka Beverley Oakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06888095890562031783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058999038786329135.post-37988238958677113012013-08-25T20:16:39.299-07:002013-08-25T20:16:39.299-07:00Woohoo Beverley!!!
