Consuela's first dress is a simple style of dress worn in the 1880's. In paintings and photographs that I have seen, it seems to have been worn by slaves at auction and middle to lower class women, probably as a house or everyday dress. It was most likely made of cotton, though it might have also been made of taffeta and maybe even silk for higher class women. I was inspired by THIS dress on Pinterest.
Consuela's dresses will be available for download on her page in March.
