Gown preparation
It took a lot of time and research to find gown fabric. Ideally it should be silk, but we all know that silk = expensive. I was so lucky - I found the PERFECT fabric on eBay, and she had 17 yards available, and offered a 10% discount for buying the whole yardage. SCORE! I originally thought I'd use a different color for the petticoat and stomacher, but since I got all this fabric it's going to all be made from one material.
I'll be using the AD Simplicity 8578 pattern.
And this is my beautiful fabric:
