Yay, I'm glad you like them! I wouldn't say it's a ton of work, but it gets really tedious really fast. And there are so many per year, it seems to go very slowly. I'm nearly to 1820, though, so I need to re-discover how to download more source images. Or I might do the 1860s ones next - there aren't as many of them. They're a bit mixed up, though. Lots of 1866 ones in the 1861/2 folders, grr.
You're welcome! It's as much for me as for everyone else - I get so wound up in research that it's a huge help to have one large, organized source.
I'm so glad you pointed that one out. I always thought of it as an underdress for a sheer overgown, but it makes even more sense as one of the hem-peeking gowns. There are so many of them in these years! I can't decide yet if I like the silhouette - it's not one I've seen in real life. I guess I'll have to try it for myself to find out. :)
I have to admit, this isn't my favourite fashion era. BUT... that one with the black bodice/pink sash really appeals to me. Hmmm. Ideas. :-) Thanks for sharing!
so I actually clicked through to your Flickr page, and WOW! Fantastic. I'm gonna post a link to your scans on my men's regency blog, if that's okay with you. Yay for pretty pictures!

Also, the ones with just the hems sticking out made me think of this petticoat:

I had always thought of it with a spencer, but now, something like this. There are just too many things I want to make :)

I'm really liking the collar on the yellow and blue one too. It's just so cute! It may be in my future :)
And I think it could work under a sheer gown too. Very practical--a lot of looks for one embroidered thing!
