TerrizaeJust having fun with Gabriel and Julia, because I like drawing pretty dresses and I have all these reference books that I figured I should get some use out of.
If you’re wondering why I included 4 decades from the 1900s and only 1 from the 1600s, it’s because a) I only drew my favorites and b) I tried to pick eras where there were significant changes in style. The 1900s saw drastic changes in fashion in a relatively short period of time whereas the 1600s didn’t. Also, there’s a hell of a lot more reference available for the 19th through the current centuries than there is for earlier time periods.
Download to see closer (it’s pretty big).
Gabriel and Julia are my original characters, their outifts were referenced from the following books:
What People Wore- Douglas Gorsline
Chronicle of Western Costume- John Peacock
Fashion- The Collection of the Kyoto Costume Institute: A History from the 18th to the 20th Century
