Winter Victorian

 

First Worn: Dickens Faire 2011

Beside an earlier venture of an extremely unflattering 20s dress, this was my first foray into historical costuming! AJ & Judy held my hand through this <3

Made with Truly Victorian bustle pattern TV101, TV201 (underskirt), and TV463 (bodice, modified). All the other layers were draped/self patterned.

For the 2013 Holiday tea GBACG holds I finally got around to making a hat! My first hat, yay! I just played with taping paper around until I found a shape I liked, then used heavy duty interfacing for the structure, too heavy I know now. but for a first attempt, I’m pretty happy with it.
