Draping

Looks like it is coming good, there are some interesting pins on panniers, but you have to be searching on Pintrest UK to get the good ones!  I found a tutorial on panniers a while ago that was interesting.  It was for a BJD to make a Marie Antoinette Style shepherdess. here   The funniest part of the article was the author wondering who looked at a donkey with panniers and decided it was a good look!

This is looking good I can't wait to see her done with the wig . I always wanted to be her for Halloween. 

I'll take a look Barb thanks! I've looked at a lot of images, had to use trial and error even tho I had a pattern it was a disaster so I did my own thing. It's hard following patterns for a Georgian dress because everyone's idea of how wide those panniers and skirts should be is different. I didn't want them to be the super exaggerated ones, but her hair I do want really high  yes, true so funny how anyone thought that up lol 

Nell, ditto, I've always had a thing for studying her, such an interesting period in history and hers is such a sad story. 

Just looked..I had seen that one and saved it, good info. Our scale is so small it's almost not necessary to get that elaborate. But I do want to try that one someday.  I used wires and double bonded fabric and finished it off in a presentable way so if my sister ever turns her upside down to look (and she will) it looks good. 

I’m excited to see one complete, I’ve been very impressed with your previous works of art...so the pressure is on lol

Yes it is necessary to simplify a lot but it was a beginning, at the time I was doing panniers for an AGD and did not get as involved as that one did but they came out nice.  I do think panniers look a lot better on a doll that has a figure which AGD do not, that is the challenge with sewing for them, hide the neck ridge and deal with the little girl figure.
