1870's bustle dresses
Here are a few of the dress that I have made so far. Please keep in mind that I am just starting out in this costuming world.
ENJOY!

I also have a bustle to go with this next outfit, but I don't have any pictures.
This is my second dress that I made. Please don't look at the wrinkles I had been in a car for two hours and out at an event all day.
I made the hat and jabot as well.
The older lady is Kentucky Annie! One of the Dixie Lee dancers, who has been performing for at least 20 years or more. She is why I always wanted to be a reenactor.
I have more pics of my Christmas dress, but I have yet to move into the technological age with a new digital camera and have to get the film developed.
ENJOY!

Sick and tired
Hello,
Just wanted to update on the corded petticoat. Well, I have not made much progress. I was sick and then I decided to go house shopping. But mostly I am not really for sure how to make a corded petticoat. If any of you would have any advice on what steps I should take.
On other news. I have purchased my fabric and pattern for my civil war dress that I need for April. I am very excited to get started.
Also I hope to make a dress form (body double) with a help from a good friend.
Well Have a bless day.
Lots of Love

New year New Blog
Hello,
It is a new year and I think that I am going to change my blog to focus on my adventures in Historical Dress making. My next project is going to be a 1860's sheer civil war dress. I am so excited. I have made about 5 dresses from the 1870's for my reenacting at a Living history museum here. I hope to keep you up to date with my endeavors in to the dressmaking adventures.
