La Traviata 1760s Rococo Dress
This 1760s rococo dress was created for a personal project course during the first year at rwcmd. I designed all of the costumes for La Traviata and chose this dress to make. Over the course of this seven-week project, I researched and constructed this dress.
Materials: jacquard fabric, acetate, ribbon,lace.
Research:
Original pattern from PATTERNS OF FASHION 1: c.1720-1860 by JANET ARNOLD.
