JP Ryan, the master of 18th century clothing, has just come out with a new pattern! It's for a Robe Anglaise...a gown very popular toward the end of the 18th century. It has teeny tiny little cartridge pleats along the back, and instead of wearing side hoops, you wear a small bum roll. You can check out the pattern at this link:

I like view B. I haven't bought the pattern, and have no plans to in the near future (too many other things I would like to sew first), but ooooohh!! Maybe someday...
This is definitely on my wish list.

I could make one out of cotton...of course now that I've found Denver fabrics sale page, I can almost buy silk for the same price as cotton. Hmm...
That silk I got on sale from Denver fabrics would look awfully good for this dress .... only $6 a yard ... it is caaaaaaalling to you ... caaaaaaalling ...
