COMPLETELY FROM STASH! Booyah! I oped for an 1890s to allow me to wear my boater for the occasion.
I went with a butterick pattern that has long been in my stash, and while I've made one of the other blouses in this, I really wanted to try the froofy sleeve. And I have to say that I adore it.
The skirt is the Truly Victorian Umbrella skirt, which is made out of a shot tafetta. Originally I had earmarked this fabric for a remake of my Scarlett O'Hara skirt, but I think if I do that again (and that's a HUGE if), it'll be out of a silk rather than a poly taffeta.
All in all, I love this outfit. The blouse is lovely and cool, being as it's made out of a light cotton, and I received some really good feedback about the outfit. So YAY!
The day itself was alot of fun. We were well recieved at the house as well, and we even managed to go and have a beer/cider in the afternoon.
