Halloween outfit planning

[madamemodiste]

I think I've decided what I'm doing for Halloween! I'd like to finally make an outfit inspired by the Dangerous Liaisons yellow traveling gown. I am seeing a red jacket with black trim over a black skirt.

Yay!!

I've ordered the Ladies riding habit from Tailor's Guide, upon the sage advice of bauhausfrau

I just took a look at the dress images from the movie. Yep... it is the one with the hat. I think that is technically called a Redingote? Or would that be a later term?

Someone more knowledgeable than I will have to answer that :D Now, can I spray paint my straw 18th C. hat black?

I redingote is actually a different, later 18th C period garment. The yellow traveling outfit is based on a mid-18th C riding habit.
