The dress has a delightful bustle or back sweep on the skirt  - - I suggest 
watching the series and freeze framing pics of Dorcas - it is available on 
You Tube  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4gsD78eahg  - or writing the 
costume designer :)

Hi Penny--

It was great to see you again (although I think you didn't recognize me
at first),, and your photos are anticipated.  I was very lazy about
taking photos myself because I Was so busy otherwise--2 big competitions,
including hte Historicala with pre-judging, 2 tech rehearsals (although
those went extremely smooth), 4 panels including Friday, where I was in t
he Workshop area for open beading for 4 hours, a round table discussion. 
Also having to eat.  And put on hall costumes.  I'm hoping next year
might be a bit less busy, but I already am planning on something enw for
the historical masquerade.

Thank you for your compliments.  For me, the greatest joy is in the
process.  The documentation for the costume of Sarah Ballou from the
Historical Masq. is going to be published in Virtual Costumer, later this
year.

I hope that if you are ever out this way--East Coast--Maryland--you will
contact me.

Yours in costuming, Lis aA

Ok, I didn't need that distraction, but I thank you for it anyway! Guess what 
I'll be watching over the summer.

Franchesca, have a look at this video, and skip to about 3:15:



I was hoping for shots of the lower half, but didn't see any in this clip. The 
bodice does not open in the back, but I don't think the buttons on the bodice 
are functional.

Link posted by Viv:



They don't appear to be under tension here, and there's no hint of buttonholes. 
It might close with hidden hooks and eyes, but I see no reason why not to go 
with functioning buttons.

If you want to copy this for modern wear, I can imagine starting with a 
strapless princess-seam dress with sweetheart neckline, and modifying.

I have a couple of items this style; one has functional buttons and the other 
uses snaps.

Sweet! Thank you so much! :)

I will have fun with this one and create from the top of my head then.
Hopefully I will find the contact info for the costumer and see what they
have to suggest. :)

I find it interesting that the Russian peasant shirts of somewhat the same 
period have this off-center fastening...

[h-cost] 1st White Wedding Dress Trend: Anne of Brittany or Queen Victoria

[penny1a]

My local newspaper ran an article about wedding traditions, 

http://www2.timesdispatch.com/lifestyles/celebrations/2011/may/04/tradition-
tales-ar-1015954/  Scroll down to "The White Wedding Dress."

So who started the trend of the white wedding dress, Anne of Brittany or
Queen Victoria?  The year 1499 is out of my league of knowledge.  I know all
about Victoria's wedding dress trend.
