If you want a very quick to put together dress the polonaise by Past
atterns is very easy,
Thanks, but I'm looking for more an early 1870s silhouette.

Last time I made it was afetr coming home Saturday night from Arisia
nd I needed soemthing to wear for a panel the next morning--whipped
p in a jiffy. I've also altered the pattern and cut it at the waist
nto a basque waist for a bodice, and made the overskirt as a separate
ver skirt.

Okay, folks, I may be getting a Steampunk urge, since a big event is right up
he road in May. I long ago wanted to do an 1870s bustle style and this seems
ike a good opportunity. My question is, what pattern(s) do you all recommend
or an 1870s era bustle day outfit? I'm thinking bodice with high neck and 3/4
leeves and underskirt with draped overskirt. I do have the skill to make some
inor changes to a pattern-could certainly modify the sleeve, for instance--but
ant something that I wouldn't need to do a lot to, as time is of the essence.
lso not stuck on 100% authentic to the period--that is one of the appeals of
teampunk!
I was hoping the Big Two had something that I could just pick up at the fabric
tore and run with, but I didn't see anything suitable there.
