The buttons are embroidered with a smaller motifs and stitched onto a bone ring, with batting filling the inside space (Dorset buttons).

Beautiful! Did you use a commercially available pattern? I'm still at the stage where I need a pattern for guidance! :/

No... I almost never use patterns for the things I make. Only using 1930s and later really. There are some good books with shapes of older garments, but they should be used as optimal shape suggestions and not real patterns.

Very nice outfit, the combination of the seemingly simple dress and the more elaborate turban is lovely!

Gorgeous. I am always a fan of solid white costumes, it really shows the wonderful lines in the design.

Perfect. Deceptively simple, yet all the details are just right. I particularly like the shape of the neckline, both front and back. Usually I don't even like this period much, but you do it so well!

Love the embroidery. It's subtle and such a creamy color. I could just see you lounging on a pillow lined row boat on a hot summer day while some strapping lad rows you along!
Wish I had this much skill on a machine, let along by hand!

It's actually just a long sash I wrapped randomly a bunch of times and stuck feathers in. Wouldn't stand up to a slight breeze, but great for pictures!
