Description
From Truly Victorian patterns, I made this late bustle era ensemble to wear to my 25th birthday party along with a few friends. A pity the roses weren't blooming yet, but the day was absolutely gorgeous.I wanted an excuse to get dressed up and play a silly game of croquet, so I invented one.
The overskirt and bodice are made of some synthetic satin, the underskirt changeable synthetic taffeta. Someday I'll be able to afford silk. ::sigh::

Yes! I think you're the first person to know which film I was talking about. It's one of my favourite vampire films ^^

Awesome outift! I wish society would continue to dress like we did in the 1800's! Oh well....
What patterns did you use to make the dress? I'd like to sew my own to wear to my high school's homecoming dance.
Once again, great job!

I used Truly Victorian patterns:
TV261 - Four Gore Underskirt - [link]
TV460 - 1885 Curiass Bodice - [link]
TV364 - Autumn Overskirt - [link]
I had a hell of a time fitting the jacket, but the over and underskirts were a total breeze. Good luck!

I really love the look. Even though it isn't silk it sure looks beautiful. I really love the choice of color and the feathers on your hat. What a wonderful reason to make a dress! I would like to do that for my birthday too.
