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 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:
