That is a nice dress from an otherwise very fussy period. I was so crushed to find out my house is from the 1830s because the clothing from that period isn't my favorite and I wanted to have an outfit that matches my house. Never mind the outfit for my husband as I do not like men's clothing from that period at all. It's a neat transition of 1830s mutton sleeves with 1810 slimer cut skirt. I bet it wouldn't be that hard to work two patterns together.
