Originals: 1859 Silk Dresses

Two-fer this month, in honor of Fort Nisqually's Candlelight Tours, which are portraying 1859 this year. [Tickets are available here. They sell out every year]

Love the effectiveness of a pagoda sleeve with epaulette on that patterned silk.
Dress c.1859-1860, LACMA

Subsitute the pointed bodice for a basque, then add some trim.
These are fundamentally very similar dresses. 1859,
