My 18th century wardrobe (for memory)

[wataya]

green_martha asked how important my 18th century wardrobe was, and I realize I didn't know. So I made a list, and yeah ! I'm impress with myself ! Given that less than 7 years ago (before I came to Paris) I really hated 18th century fashion :)

Finished

- Robe à la française 1755
- Caraco à la française 1770s
- Caraco with en fourreau back and matching petticoat (wearable but officially WIP)
- Robe à l'anglaise stripes and lace, and polonaise ties 1780s (finished as is, except that in the end, it's supposed to be the round gown with vandyked collar from Janeet Arnold, so WIP)
- Robe au corsage en rideau, 1790
- Robe directoire blue 1796
- Robe directoire white 1797
- Blue cape 1750s-1790s

WIP
- Redingote 1786
- Caraco corsage en rideau 1790
- Robe à l'anglaise with zone front 1780s
- robe oberkampf 1794
- Short gown 1780s
- Lévite sans collar 1790

EDIT : I forgot two of my WIP

Wow ! I bow to your rococo sewing mojo ! And you seem to have a clear tendancy towards the late 18th century as well :)

I can only hope for some of the same "rococo sewing mojo", as I'm just starting on my 18th c. wardrobe, now that I'm back to sewing again. That's an impressive list.
