So, an update on some of the preparation I've done for my Holy Grail project. After looking around the web, I've discovered theres not a huge amount of information on the 1830's or a lot of choice of patterns. The one I've chosen as coming closest to my inspiration dress is this one by Truly Victorian.
The other thing I've done is track down a supplier for rat-tail cord for the decorative work. They have a big selection of colours, but nothing close to the colour I was hoping to match, so I'm back to the start on picking a colour.
This is what they've got

I guess I need to see which colours I can match in fabric, and do a bit of research to see if there's any perticular rules about colours for the 1830's!
So because I haven't choosen colours or fabrics for the big project yet, and because I want a victorian evening outfit, I've decided to test the TV pattern on this dress- more on that next time!
