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

Silk satin coutil corset with spoon busk and antique lace...wishing I didn't have to cover it up! Getting ready for a tea at an 1898 Swedish country house today. . #lilyabsinthelife #LAartist #silkcorset #extantlace #handdyed #corsetiere #maker #oldwest #swedentrip #countryhouse #corset #1890s #theother90s https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FC1JSJgbz/?igshid=eyp9f5tea2o6

From fitted bodice shell to nearly finished bodice...I'm living on the edge sewing while corseted and barefoot because life is glamorous. . . . #beholdmyglamour #1890sfashion #LAartist #onadeadline #extantembroidery #gownrefashioning #shatteredgownrestored #theother90s (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1uvI6XJkcx/?igshid=n6hkkfu17r0l

It's possible that I've reached the heights of mid 90s fashions, because both sleeves won't fit in frame! She's still pinned...tomorrow, bodice fitting. . . . . . . #lilyabsinthegown #theother90s #1890sfashion #revivingextant #arrasceneembroidery #corsetingtomorrow #striaesilktaffeta #thiscouldbeatrend #gibsongirl #widenthedoorway (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1PsTdWDfTo/?igshid=1nmd4i7cnwn39

Restored museum deacessioned 1890s hat, she required a complete brim edge treatment and lining replacement. Flowers, willow plumes, cut steel buckle, and ikat silk ribbon are antique as well. This adds a lot of height to the wearer! . . . . #1890sfashion #extanthat #victorianhat #theother90s #mohairvelvet #lightasair #fashionplatehat #violethat #handpaintedflowers #antiquelace #vintageglamour #silk #handfinished (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1C_LR2Adfr/?igshid=ahf4le07mnwm

She needs some strategic padding, but patiently awaits her flossing with the special silk floss from @elizabethemersondesigns That silk satin is stunning, but unforgiving because mistakes mean panel replacing, as stitching leaves marks... don't ask me how I know 😎 Translating old patterns in French helped me draft a special shape, that last bit of 1890s before the Straight Front became fashionable. Now, to take a break and take Angus for a walk! . . . . . . . #lilyabsinthecorsetry #LAartist #latevictorian #silksatin #silktaffeta #historicalsewing #originalsources #blush #historicallyaccurate #antiquelace #vintageglamour #silk #extantlace #handdyed #corset #spoonbusk #1890 #belleepoquestyle #theother90s #bespoke #lilyabsinthe https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ozGXEJPIJ/?igshid=d7bk3g2hpmsn
