Late 1830's Dress

I like the look of this dress. The skirt is quite full, as well as the sleeves.

Front view. I love the sleeves :)

Side view. I didn't take a picture of the back because I couldn't get the dress closed over my dress form. It fastens up the back with a multitude of hooks and eyes.

This is a detail of the cartridge pleating, also known as gauging, used to gather the large amount of fabric in the skirt to the waistband.
