Anyway....this has got to be the prettiest ribbon corset I have ever seen. It's constructed from silk floral ribbon, dated to 1900-5 and it lives in the Bath Fashion Museum.

Friday Eye Candy: Ribbon Corset
One thing I have yet to explore whilst on my sewing adventures is the ribbon corset. I can't help but look at them with a sense of slight mystery as I need to get my head around what makes them tick. I must add it to my increasingly long to-do list!

Finished Project: The Aphrodite Gown
I have been a neglectful blogger but I have got lots of sewing done. The Aphrodite Gown is finished, it was pretty quick to do, the zip was probably the most arduous task. Here is the result!
The original plan was to have red fabric roses decorating the empire line seam but when I finished all the construction it just didn't feel like the right thing to do.
View of the dress from the side/back. I love the effect of the red underdress coming through the white chiffon.
Drapeyness at the back......yummy!
