I also have a tendency to goth-ify my costumes, no matter the historical era or fantasy genre. Sometimes, this leads to greatness, sometimes &#8230; well, it&#8217;s a challenge. It can look rather weird in progress, &amp; this &#8216;chemise a la gothique&#8217; is a prime example.<\/p>\n<p>I had the concept of the gown in my head as soon as I bought the fabric two years ago. Even though print chemise gowns are undocumentable for the 18th century, afaik. Sure, there are <a href=\"http:\/\/collections.vam.ac.uk\/item\/O13815\/gown-unknown\/\" target=\"_blank\">printed cotton<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/collections.vam.ac.uk\/item\/O110101\/gown-unknown\/\" target=\"_blank\">gowns<\/a>, &amp; there were <a href=\"http:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Self-portrait_in_a_Straw_Hat_by_Elisabeth-Louise_Vig%C3%A9e-Lebrun.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">colored<\/a>, possibly <a href=\"http:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Lebr010.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">striped<\/a>, gowns &amp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.festiveattyre.com\/2012\/07\/black-chemise-gowns.html\" target=\"_blank\">black<\/a> gowns.

But what I wanted to do wasn&#8217;t really historical &amp; was really just made up out of my own head.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I thought the construction would be more historical. Yet even there, I took a million weird turns. I&#8217;ve tried to blog the gown in-progress for weeks now, I&#8217;ve taken pictures &amp; written posts again &amp; again, but honestly, there&#8217;s no good way to describe how I made this dress. The less said about it, the better. It&#8217;s a franken-process of historical elements, modern over-engineering, a shocking amount of hand-sewing for me, &amp; a lot of mis-estimations of WTF would work &amp; how stuff should go together. It looks OK on the outside &amp; even on the inside, but much like making laws &amp; sausage, the process for getting there wasn&#8217;t pretty.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"640\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 640px;
