For my first project of second year, I had the opportunity to design and construct an authentic 17th century robe à la française otherwise known as a sack back dress, for the Marie Antoinette film. This was a very fun challenge, allowing me to practice draping. It also helped developed my hand sewing skills, as this project was constructed and completed almost solely by hand. I experimented with a bold colour pallette, taking inspiration from Rococo architecture and paintings when creating designs for my robe à la française.
