Oops! The Simple Cotton Frock just became fancy with a perfectly useless, but decorative pocket. Style Points for the Victorians! . . #ohthosevictorians #justacottonfrock #libertyoflondon #lilyabsinthestyle #1880sfashion #1880s #victorian #victorianoldwest #victorianstyle #bustledress #victorianfashion #impressioniststyle (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP6ybIWljHL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Bonnie Prince Angus has spoken, it looks like it's time for a break! Bodice gets cut out later tonight, hope to finish the lilac 90s suit tomorrow. . . . . . . #lilyabsinthegown #bonnieprinceangus #LAartist #lovemyjackrussell #silktaffeta #silkduchessesatin #handfinished #1890sfashion #theother90s #weighedskirt #victoriangown #vintageglamour #silk #victoriandress #ohthosevictorians #theartofdress (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1kmpGQDN39/?igshid=1v0iazmpf7ybj

Stitching on velvet leaves and final hem check...Adam wisely found some 80s music (um, 1980s...not 1880s, don't judge) so I can sing along to stay awake. #funtimes #highfive #LAartist #pleatastic #dyedtomatch #ohthosevictorians #whattheywore #frenchsilk #victorianballgown #1880s #antiquelace #vintageglamour #lilyabsinthegown #bustledress #sewinginhotelrooms #Topangaartist #deadlines #soclose #duchessesilksatin (at The Queensberry Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxBLoGbnIft/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ozw0crwsrlgk

Layers of blush pink silk assembled and turn backs pinned in place, ready for a little hand finish before I cut out the skirt. #lilyabsinthegown #bustledress #bayleuse #1880s #newgownforme #vintagelace #theartofdress #handdyedsilk #LAartist #pleatastic #dyedtomatch #ohthosevictorians #whattheywore #frenchsilk #victorianballgown #eveningdress #silkandlace #duchessesilksatin #silktaffeta #historicallyaccurate #antiquelace #lilyabsinthe #victorianfashionista (at Lily Absinthe Corsetry and Couture) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwfhJofn8Tn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=okyujn59s1rx

Being a full-time Victorian is exhausting, it's been a few days filled with dress up videos, interviews and stills.

Soutache and lace over wool textile we found in Paris' Montmartre Fabric District became my new 1890s style cape from the hands of @adamlid1 ...I love it! . . #lilyabsinthe #1890sfashion #1890sstyle #cape #gibsongirlstyle #antiquehat #oldwesttombstone #ohthosevictorians #thedressmakerscottage #Victorian #shesfromparis #Frenchstyle #parisgownsfromthebacksofwagons #tombstonestyle #whattheywore #wintersuit #harpersbazar #originalpatternsheet #tombstoneaz (at The Dressmaker's Cottage at #11) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYXN_0dPSqn/?utm_medium=tumblr

Perfect for @adamlid1 after hours for reading and a glass of port in the Tombstone parlor.. silk brocade from The Silk Route, antique silk velvet from my collection, fully hand finished.

Stitching the pleats closed on the bayleuse...this is a crazy amount of work for something that will probably be held in place with my train hook! Funny.

I love to see a train "float" on a pleated bayleuse, I was lucky to have enough of the same silk leftover to do this...wish I'd made it removable, but I'll save that for another gown. #underneathitall #victoriansecrets #lilyabsinthestyle #historicaldressdesigner #1883harpersbazar #bustledress #bespoke #LAartist #ohthosevictorians #historicalcostuming #pleats #pleatastic #handfinished (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPHxd4clUiI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 10 of #VictorianFebruary is: "Juicy Details" and there's nothing like a bit of ruffly scandal to raise some eyebrows! The best details are usually hidden during a promenade. #VictorianFebruary #lilyabsinthe #1900s #belleepoque #labelleepoque #museumhat #antiquelace #yellow #19thcenturyfashion #corset #historicalcostuming #victorian #victoriandress #justacottonfrock #LAartist #ohthosevictorians https://www.instagram.com/p/CLIQMeGD1GF/?igshid=14dvodwifmx6b

Pretty details and antique lace from @elizabethemersondesigns make my heart beat faster. Single layer satin coutil corset (custom dyed) with silk duchess channels and silk twist flossing in the longer late century style. . . . . #1890sstyle #lilyabsinthe #silkduchessesatin #antiquelace #satincoutil #belleepoque #labelleepoque #frenchlace #LAartist #ohthosevictorians #historicalcostuming #historicalsewing #bluecorset #1890s #1890sfashion #thisdesignerslife #corsetiere #corset #hourglassshape #whatshewore #underneathitall #victoriansecrets (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFGekABjr6G/?igshid=1xvbp0ogasi6s
