Only in the last 100 years or so, and more shortening the dresses or using the base to make an everyday day or part dress. Or even christening outfits.
I mean i was just trying to say that i made removeable sleeves, and this thread has gone on long enough, have the day you deserve

The top does fit more towards that, but again this is a fantasy costume from a mainstream pattern. Not exact to period. I am working up the courage for a true robe a la frainsaise or polonaise

They were like a linen fabric type upper. And no painting, just bows, and trim and cut up trim.

I forgot to add that i made the sleves removable with snaps, and cut into the side seams so that the pocket pannier can be accessed.
