I wouldnt wear it for halloween--lol thats a bit insulting, really. The original use of the Pannier shown here dates back to the early 17th C, its height was during the life of Marie Antoinette, in about 1766. The drawnup bustle form is also classic rococo; more like 1740-1755, in the "shepherdess" forms popular in Versailles...but worn through out Northern Europe for dancing.....eventually becoming the "overskirt" and bustle, in the Victorian Era of the following century. Only someone who cant sew would comment that this would be used for Halloween--lol. Making these dresses at all from a pattern is "extremely difficult" ; to make them in latex shows mastry and sophistication. My regret about these dresses shown is that they dont exhibit any use of lace ornament, which was a staple of the Rococo period. Lace at the elbow, throat, ruching in the overskirt, flounces in the underskirt ; these make the garment more interesting to the eye and more fun to wear.
