madamemodisteHello! I finished the black and white NF era gown that I have simply named "Donna's Dress" since she inspired it!
I wore it this past weekend to Belvidere Victorian Days in NJ. It sort of drizzled all day, but we made the most of it!
Made entirely of cotton from the Truly Victorian 1882 tea gown pattern with the neckline from the TV 410 1873 polonaise, and a "Victorian revival" white blouse underneath purchased at the mall.
Please ignore the alien cat in the background. She is clearly engaging in shenanigans.
As you can see, I paired the overdress with a striped skirt I made several years ago. The parasol frame is circa 1890's and was recovered in net and lace by me and mostly Beth because I was distracted putting in an offer on a house the day she visited.
Here is a link to photos from the day:
