For a trip to France in 2025, I wanted a new outfit and was inspired to try the levite style because it’s a little more casual and it just seemed interesting. Also, I was inspired by Kendra’s book and articles<\/a> she’s written on the topic. I considered draping a pattern based on her work and the pattern in Carolyn’s book<\/a>. But I hate draping! So I hunted around and found a reasonable pattern to start with from Winego.<\/p>\n

I wanted to use stash fabrics and found some pink and burgundy silks that worked together. There’s even some scraps left from my first Venetian gown<\/a> that was enough for a sash. The only thing I had to buy was some fringe for the end of the sash.<\/p>\n

\"levite <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"levite <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"levite <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

I was inspired by this 1780 fashion plate, which I mocked up in my fabric’s color scheme:<\/p>\n

\"1780 <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"levite <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Oh, and there would be skulls too! I had more skull lace leftover from the gothic curiosities outfit<\/a>, and of course my levite would be a goth levite, between the trim and wearing it over my black chemise gown<\/a>. It all went together fairly easily.<\/p>\n

\"levite <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"levite <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"levite <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Though I didn’t get many pix when I wore it at Ch\u00e2teau de Vaux-le-Vicomte.<\/p>\n
