So after I finish my steampunk outfit, I'm going to work on my 18th century stays. I think I'm going to make them pale blue and hopefully add a little bit of embroidery down one of the front panels. Isn't this set of stays GORGEOUS, though?

The whole point of that, besides randomly running around with stays and petticoats on,... is so that I can make a robe à la française. I've always wanted to have one since I was a little girl. I'm not going to make a replica of a particular gown, I'm simply going to pick my favorite color fabric and then embellish it however I like. (translation: cover it with gathered fabric and ribbon roses)
(notice that apparently it takes about 4 years for me to forget how much I hate making ballgowns... but oh how I love them.)

I loved the colors used in the Marie Antionette movie. My favorite MA gown colors are these two. (not nessesarily the gown STYLE but the gown colors)
Which color do you think I should do? The slightly aqua blue, or the pink? :) I love both almost equally.
I'm going to make a separate deep red gown, but I can't decide on my "other gown" color.
I might do a white-ish wig, so my hair color is not too much of a determining factor.
