You know what...I truly did not fancy the gold trim as it that color combo reminded me of a rival high school here in town! Isn't that silly? It's been over 20 years since high school for heaven's sake! hahahaha!!! I have the hat completed...it's very unlike anything I have made before...a military bi-corn...I will hopefully post about that later today!<br /><br />Be blessed!!<br /><br />g Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345391863552645466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-46793775564900071902013-09-08T10:06:38.646-07:002013-09-08T10:06:38.646-07:00Hello there Emily!!

For the patterns, I used the Truly Victorian 460 Cuirass Bodice and modified it, the front of the over skirt was the Truly Victorian 382 Asymmetrical Drapery Add-on. I drafted the under skirt and bustling myself. I would have used the Truly Victorian 261 5 gore skirt, but it is not "straight up and down". For the stripes on the underskirt, I needed a skirt that did not flare! I hope that helps!!<br /><br />Blessings!!<br /><br />gGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345391863552645466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-22209798357389688312013-09-08T09:57:03.172-07:002013-09-08T09:57:03.172-07:00Dear Gina,

I am just in awe of your talent to perfectly realize a costume from a 2-dimensional fashion plate! Hopefully you have planned an 1880s hat to complete your ensemble :)<br /><br />Have a wonderful day,<br />Anneliese :)<br /><br />Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04599491060500377688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-10788908287820439392013-09-08T01:11:04.002-07:002013-09-08T01:11:04.002-07:00Wow, you did great job!
