I wore it over a chemise, my take on a Ferris Good Sense Corset, drawers, bustle, and petticoat. My shoes are Edwardian lace up boots and I knit my tam o'shanter from an 1885 pattern. The Ravelry page for that is here.
Twila and I wore these in the historic masquerade at Costume Con 30 and won best in show. It was very exciting :)
And what's a bustle dress without a side view?
Absolutely magnificent. I am so jealous of your talent.
ReplyDeleteFabulous dresses! Congrats on the win, that's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I admire anyone who's this clever with stripes!

ReplyDeleteSorry for my english, in France we're not so good in speaking other languages :)
You look amasing! :)
ReplyDeleteReminds me of my creative graduation picture! :) It has the same theme as this one except that i was wearing a pure grey victorian dress. I had an umbrella and head dress, too
