---

Corset already made, bought secondhand, removed all of the decor on the front, dyed it in coffee, laced it back up and used purple grosgrain ribbon in the back.



Bloomers are currently being sewn together ever so slowly. The chemise will be made of same semi stretch, light purple fabric. Will either buy or sew some socks, not really sure yet.

The crinoline will consist of two hoops, really super simple, only want it to keep the skirt looking voluminous so don't really need more. Will be sewing a petticoat to drape over it.

The one piece will have puffy long sleeves, kept simple with not too much distracting decor, there will be pleated ruffles at the hem of the skirt. Will close with snaps at the back. Will be using this fabric for the dress:


Will either dye it in coffee or tea as I want it to have the air of being old even though it really isn't.

The cape will be made out of white woolen fabric with a removeable hood and holes for hands to go through. There will be a muff made out of fake fur fabric with a sting so it can be carried around the neck.

Spoon bonnet already made and currently neatly packet away in a self made hatbox.

Will bring updates along the way, hopefully I will manage to finish all of this before Christmas!
