Hello everyone! Last fall I started working on an en fourreau or English back gown. The gown was draped and worked entirely by hand. Laugh-ou-loud - a friend of mine calls this my vegan dress since a machine was not used. I got to wear it to an event last Saturday and I have to say that I think I did a pretty good job. Whoa, was I being a little immodest here? Yep! :) I am really proud of this little ensemble. I am sorry I don't have more pictures, but the next time I wear it I will certainly make sure that I get more detailed shots. Oh, notice the shoes! I got my period mules from Burnley and Trowbridge (link will be provided below). The mules are soooooooo comfortable and beautifully made.

It's lovely! Can't wait to see more detailed pictures at some point.
Thanks Cassidy. I was part of the event coordination so I totally forgot to get more pictures taken. The person who took these didn't up load the rest she did of me. Anyway, will post pictures later. Thanks for dropping by. Cheers.
It looks great! I'm with Cassidy - I can't wait to see more photos :-)
Vegan is the way to go :)
You look lovely, as always. I too would love to see some more pics when the opportunity comes.
Again, thank you ladies for your encouragement! Will try to get this documented a bit better. Cheers.
Dear Angela,
Oh, it turned out really beautiful. I love the whole ensemble from the cap to the pretty red mules!
Now I hope that you'll share more pictures with us soon!!!
