Period Impression 419 Paletot: Part 2
Part of the fun of any project is the research and the eye candy. Here are some of the originals that I am drawing inspiration from for the paletot trim. I'm headed down the research rabbit hole and I'm taking you all with me mwahahaha. Enjoy!

Cotton wrapper from the Met museum. It is labeled as a morning dress, but the princess seams and button front speak more to it being a wrapper than anything.
Another Dress from the Met collection. This one is a later, maybe 1864 as it is starting to migrate the majority of the fullness of the skirt to the back.
Another Met dress, this trim is a bit more simplistic and more doable. I actually love this, especially how the trim is used on the bottom to give an almost wavy effect.
The armstyce trim looks gorgeous on this little girls dress. I think this type is using up too much braid for me to do, but its pretty to look at none the less.
Now this is something interesting! First time seeing velveteen circles cut out and applied to a dress in such a manner! At first its almost over whelming but the longer I look at it, the more it grows on me. Might add this to the save for later idea pile.
This one comes off as more simplistic, but still elegant. This was originally on the whitaker auction website, but I accessed it from the bonswan blog.
