To my eye it's trying to imitate styles of the 1850s but it's only got an approximate silhouette of the period. It definitely doesn't use period construction or cut. For the same cut in the bodice I'd be inclined to try Burda 2768 http://www.burdafashion.com/en/Shop/Carneval_Halloween/2768_Woman%E2%80%99s_ 19th_century_period_costume/1000003-1128999-1146174.html this is the best imitation I've been able to find from the big 4 but you would need to find the sleeves somewhere else. Maybe Simplicity's new 'Other Boleyn Girl' gown (#2589) as Kim suggested Elizabeth ------------------------------- Elizabeth Walpole Canberra, Australia http://magpiecostumer.110mb.com/
