The en fourreau back was one of the most popular styles of gown during the 18th century and can easily suit a variety of impressions depending on choice of fabric and trim. The focus for this workshop will be on making gowns suitable to the early 1770s, with information on how to make an earlier style if desired. At the end of the workshop each individual will have a personalized pattern for re use and their gown well under construction. During the workshop, attendees will also have the chance to examine some of the original 18th century items in our collection.
- Students must come prepared with a cut and sewn mockup of the gown bodice. The first part of the workshop will cover how to adjust your mockup.
- Homework is required.
- Pre approval of fabric is necessary.
- Period appropriate stays are required to fit your gown. Students should plan to bring and wear their shift, stays, under petticoat, and shoes.
