Pattern & Propriety
This exquisite framed artwork features a meticulously handcrafted paper dress in the refined Victorian style, carefully mounted against a rich black background in an elegant dark frame. Each fold and crease has been thoughtfully executed to recreate the distinctive silhouette of 19th century fashion.
The piece is fashioned entirely from vintage sewing pattern paper, featuring authentic measurement markings, cutting lines, and construction notes that add both visual texture and conceptual depth. The bodice, rendered in a warm butter yellow, contrasts beautifully with the naturally dyed pattern paper of the full skirt, creating a striking visual hierarchy reminiscent of Victorian propriety and elegance.
Notable details include:
Fitted bodice with delicate structural elements
Bell-shaped skirt with subtle bustle suggestion
Modest neckline and sleeves reflecting Victorian sensibilities
Visible sewing notations that connect modern craftsmanship to historical design
Ready-to-hang presentation in a quality frame
This unique piece sits at the intersection of fashion history and paper art, making it a perfect statement piece for sewing studios, fashion boutiques, or anyone who appreciates the artistry of historical costume. Each artwork is one-of-a-kind, celebrating the beauty of dressmaking patterns transformed into the very garments they were designed to create.
