She looks beautiful. Take the rear view next time she wears it. Nice work, Mom!

What's happened, Rosemary?? Your wee daughter has grown up!

Love it Rosemary!

Wow, Rosemary! I'm blown away by Izzy's outfit! It's unbelievably beautiful! I love the spider webs on the fabric. And Izzy is looking so grown up! Where has the time gone? She looks even more grown up than the last picture was saw of her and I swear that wasn't more than a couple of months ago! She is certainly turning into a beautiful young lady!!

Lorra, it is more of an inspired by but yes it does look late Victorian. Actually it started off as a tiered skirt after the style of Lolita dresses (rolls eyes) that Izzy fancied, dressed up to goth (for goth read black conspicuous consumption, where more is, well..... more). And then the jacket was inspired by the one I linked you to in the other post, but I started with a 1940 repro Jacket pattern, and altered it below the waistline to suit.

Rosemary the dress is terrific! Izzy is adorable. You are one talented lady..

It is actually a jacket and skirt. The skirt is a half circle skirt for the top tier trimmed with lace and a straight grain ruffle trimmed with black gros grain ribbon with a black net half circle skirt over the top with a black net ruffle (all I can say is thank god for the old singer rufflette foot!) The jacket is based on this one again with the black gros grain ribbon trimming the peplums of the pink wool with the black net over it.

Here is a front view

sorry I forgot to photograph the back view, but it has 6 D rings (2 rows of 3) for the lacing on the back.

Rosemary.. That is beautiful!

I just stopped by to say " Hi!" to all of my longtime friends! I'm am stuck on the couch, with the flu! Otherwise, I would be in my quilting room, designing my Hoffman Challenge. This will be my first year for that!

Rosemary, the dress is beautiful! I've always enjoyed making "costumes"!

I recently finished a really cute table playhouse for my granddaughters. Major job! I can't figure out how to post a photo of it, but if you search "Indoor playhouse" on Pinterest, my board should pop up under boards. It's the first three or four photos.

Rosemary, dress and model quite beautiful!! I used to have the most fun making dresses for my daughter when she was small - did the whole gambit from French handsewing to smocking. Then she got a little older and blue jeans and oversized t-shirts became the dress of the day! At that point I turned to quilting!!

Rosemary, I love Izzy's dress. I would love to see a picture of the back and front full on. It is beautiful. I have some granddaughters who do old English dancing. They would love this. Their mother makes their dresses too. What time period would this on be from? I am thinking late 1800's.

Rosemary,
Just beautiful. Beautiful gown on a beautiful young lady.

Ages yet Lois not until 1st April.

How lovely Rosemary that your daughter is so willing to wear your work. Lois is right she looks adorable.

Rosemary, Your daughter (Izzy? right?) looks adorable. All you need is your DH finding more projects for you to do to keep you away from your quilting!

BTW it's getting close to time to post our latest challenge. I must confess, I've not been working on my "inspired by Libby" project although I fully intend to do so. But when? Time's a'wasting. It's definitely going to be a small project.
