I copied this gown from the Met Museum | Making a 1790s Open Robe

I'm recreating another dress from a museum collection, or at least taking inspiration from it. I found a beautiful late 18th century/early Regency-era open robe in the Met Museum collection and fell in love with the back design: dozens of angled pleats and fabric-covered buttons. So when I got my hands on some silk stripe fabric for a great deal I knew I wanted to make my own version.
