About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Lillehammer, Norway

Updated April 2012: For the longest time I lived on the outskirts of Dublin, Ireland with my better half and our gerbils. A few years back we moved back to Norway, and are now quite settled in our idyllic corner of the world (Lillehammer). We now have 4 gerbils after an unfortunate case of mistaken gender. The number of sewing machines have reduced to just 3, the pattern and fabrics collection got so large it could no longer be contained, and are now residing in 3 large, double width chest of drawers in our new home. Stay tuned for musings on patterns, books and all things vintage.

A few more pictures of the Edwardian Gown


Seeing as I am ever so proud of this gown I decided to post a few more pictures of it. This side view really shows the sleeves off, and shows the typical Edwardian silhouette too. This is quite hard to reproduce on a modern dress form, and I believe this was due to sheer luck, truth be told.














This photo shows the intricate details of the bodice. Notice the lace on the collar and the top part of the bodice. There is rosettes down the front of the bodice and also at the back of the collar as well as at the belt fastening.

I only wish this gown would fit me, but being a size 10 this gown is several sizes too small :(

I think this dress would fit a petite size 6, perhaps a size 8.










The skirt is absolutely lovely. It is gathered in the back as you can see in the picture, and it has a hook and eye fastening.
