1880's Evening Costume

Made for a costumed dinner held in honour of Queen Elizabeth's platinum jubilee. I used patterns from Truly Victorian, although the bodice is very heavily altered from the original pattern.

 

Regency Era Costume 2.0

Made to replace my initial regency disaster dress. This one is so much more beautiful, comfortable and wearable, and it was easy to make! I also made a new nicer set of regency stays to go underneath, don't ever go for short stays, they aren't worth it! I used a Laughing Moon pattern for the dress and a Redthreaded pattern for the stays.

 

Bed Sheet Dress

I made this as a mockup/trail run for a pattern from Otome no Sewing and ended up liking it so much I never ended up finishing the original dress I was going to make. This dress is so incredibly cute and comfortable, I really should make more versions. 

Regency Era Costume

I made this for the Regency picnic that happens every year in my city. It is made from cotton gauze and I used Sense & Sensibility's "Regency Gown" pattern but I do not recommend it, it has a lot of problems.

White work Babushka Headdress

Made for a friend upon her leaving to go back to the USA. This picture shows the underside. Pattern was self drafted and features her initial with her favourite flower; lavender.

Gingham Side-ribbon One-piece

I originally planned to make this with a duck appliqué on the skirt but never got around to it. It is 100% cotton including the lining, for wearing on hot and humid summer days. I used Angelic Pretty's Country of Sweets OP for the pattern.

Strawberry JSK

Even though it looks like a high waisted skirt here, it's actually a JSK. Made of some strawberry fabric from Japan, I can't remember what pattern I used but I know it was commercial and I just added my own skirt.
