This is the finished day dress that I was working on earlier. I finished it over a month ago, but never got around to taking pictures. It is my favorite of all the dresses I have made so far because I think it looks very authentic and because of the beauty of the fabric.

It was also very time consuming and fairly detailed for a day dress. I covered my own fabric buttons, pleated the skirt, and attatched a bunch of hook and eyes/snaps to the front closure. Not to mention the bodice is hand sewn.

At the moment I am working on a matching bonnet that I can't wait to post pictures of. Soon....
