I am checking in and to say that I am finished with my civil war dress. We had a great day at the museum with many soliders and so many visitors that we had to turn them away. It took me about two full days of sewing to complete my dress. When I started I only had part one of the pattern so after a frantic email to the pattern place I did get the rest of the pattern.
I made this dress to be a sheer, but the material is more of a semisheer.
I have it modeled on Gertie, who is my dress form.
I made the belt out of ribbon that matched the trim. I was inspired by one of my fellow dressmakers off of Sewing Academy website. I also made the hat.
I had a lot of fun with constuction, but I have several things that I would change. I plan on taking the skirt and bodice and attach it in a differnt way.
Hope you like it.
