So, I came across the 18th Century Blog after watching The Duchess - I popped on the DVD to have something on in the background while I did some fashion illustration but it proved SO distracting because the costuming was that amazing. Anyways, afterwards I tried to find some screen caps and in the process discovered this site, devoted to all things from the 1700s - art, clothing, etiquette, you name it. Historical references are so important in fashion so I was really excited to find this.
I used this image of a bodice as inspiration for a design brief focused on "external shape". :)
