Christmas Swap 2012

Finally some sewing time after the busy holidays. Here is a picture of a 1900's style outfit I created for the Christmas swap. The pattern started as a pattern for a 16 inch antique doll. It had very bad instructions, an ill fitting sleeve, and a bodice lining that made no sense. I drafted a new sleeve, added my touches, and did it my way. It has a shirred bodice, tights, sash, headband and leather shoes. A very fun outfit to make.
