I made a gown based on the Princess Charlotte's 1817 yellow silk "Pearl Dress". So it is similary beaded in faux pearls and "white silk crimped gauze", but out of velvet - I fell in love with it for it's wonderful deep blue color.
The beading at the hem took approximately 170 hours or 5 weeks time. And lots of pearls in two sizes - 12000 in fact. Give or take a few.
I'm proud of having actually finished it on time %)
The design pattern will be finished soon, so as the bottom embellishment and the belt, and I'll wear it once again.
And here are more pictures, taken from a book " In Royal Fashion", by Kay Staniland.
