An Update for the Navy Blue Anglaise

I whipped out a matching navy blue silk charmeuse petticoat and a stomacher. Click the thumbnail for a full-length photo. I am now lamenting the fact that I had no decent interlining fabric on hand, but I think for a one-shot, it will work out fine. I intend to wear it like this only once before a full re-working of the bodice.

The only real problem here is the weight and flashyness of the buttons. The character I intend to wear it for detests ostentation. I may change out the silver buttons for black.
