Finishing!
Eyelet Bustle gown - cotton eyelet from JoAnns (of all places) lined in cotton with cotton lace from the FIDM store ($4 for 20 yards!!) and velvet ribbon trim from M&J Trimming - ALL from the stash! Oh and my great grandmother's cameo. :)
The "Irene Adler" gown from the first Sherlock Homes movie - out of pink silk faille with Czech glass buttons, also all from the stash!
My gown and the movie gown (which I think was satin but I much prefer my faille. :)
Since I'm nearly done with coco sewing I'm considering making the wrap that goes with this gown after all:
And maybe making a new petticoat to go with the 18th C gown I'm planning on wearing on Friday during the day. I got more of this ages ago with the idea towards making a matching petticoat and somehow I'm in the mood to wear this again so why not with a new petti to make it feel like a new outfit?
Wow very nice! I am thinking to make Irene's dress for my major textiles project. Did you use a pattern?
