Double Period Project - 1770-1789

Your Wardrobe Unlock'd is doing a double period project competition and I'm highly considering in entering. I'm leaning on doing an outfit from around the years 1770-1789. My other choice is the Natural Form era (1876-1882). As I already have many sources and patterns for the 18th century I would do that era. But I would love to make a natural form dress! *sighs* So many lovely inspirations to choose from.

Let me show you some screen caps from movies that are inspiring me for my chosen era. (Disclaimer: I have not seen many of the following films so I'm NOT recommending them at all, just the costumes. The only one I've seen is "Amazing Grace" and I highly recommend the movie.)

Maria Antoinette (2006)
 

   

  

  

  


 The Duchess (2008) 

  


Amazing Grace (2006)

lovely feminine details in the dresses. but i dont recommend watching Marie Antoinette nor The Duchess. Amazing Grace is not bad, though Romola Garai's costumes are a bit on the immodest side (way too cleavage-baring)
