To all who mourn in Israel, He will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory. Isaiah 61:3

1910 Merlot Winter Wool Suit Complete!

Whoa!  It has been a loooooong time since I last posted!  I have been busy costuming a play and dressing models up in my dresses for a Victorian Fashion show, but all of that is over now!  Yeah!!  So, I thought I would post pictures of my Merlot suit!  We had a Christmas party tonight and when Mom came over to get dressed, I snagged her to take some photos of me in the suit.  Then I played around with them on Picasa to make them look like the tinted photos that were popular in the Victorian and Edwardian era.  I really like how they turned out!  Here they are!  Oh yes, and my wonderful ermine!!


The front...This pose was in honor of the beautiful Edwardian beauty Camille Clifford!


Back pose...











Yeah!  Now, next year the wool suit will be in green!!
