January 2007
The dress uses a base of calico salvaged and bleached from curtains other wise destined to be thrown away. This is overlayed with a sheer cotton used for mosquito nets.
The skirt was patterned after 1870s pattern layouts and the bodice from my previously developed late victorian bodice pattern.
in 2008 I gave the dress some flowers and a sheer bonnet and wore it to another picnic.
