And tonight I am beginning on Kelsey's Dress.
(I am now only one day behind my schedule.)
I found these amazingly simple patterns from Lady's Godey's Magazines from the 1850s. They are so simple, hardly any seams! I suppose if you had to hand sew every seam, you'd be looking for a simple pattern too. And to think that these dresses were often so ornate!
Well, I am going to try to recreate a BBC North & South style dress (with a few of my own details as always) complete with a bonnet.
And I'm thinking a cream batten burg lace collar?
P.S. I did end up putting jewels on the brown dress, and this is the last one to sew.
