I bought fabric..big surprise! It’s a lavendar semi sheer with tone on tone stripes. It’s cotton. I have a pattern, but I am wondering if anyone knows if they used French Seams in the CW era. I can see on the bodice, where a French seam would keep things from unravelling, especially the sleeves and the side seams..but the curved seams in back?? *sigh* At least the pattern calls for flat lining, as is period correct...I may or may not get this done for Hale Farms
Finished it in time for Hale Farm. It was very well received. I made the petticoat using a dust ruffle I bought at a thrift store for it’s battenburg lace.
