Getting ready for in next month. Two skirts done, now to work on the bodices. For the black ensemble, used the street length fantail skirt pattern and the Hermione overskirt. For the teal silk, the trained fantail skirt pattern and the Split Pannier overskirt, all from patterns. Pardon the background mess, I'm too busy being creative.

The pink and white striped confection is done and has had its maiden voyage. The fabric was a dream to work with, so light and airy. I'm sure Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry has a bit more in their Etsy store https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/AtelierLilyAbsinthe

Since this blouse is the short sleeved version, and I sunburn under light bulbs with high wattage, I decided to make some sleeve extensions for my lower arms. I know Edwardian ladies would often have an underblouse if they needed a higher neckline or longer sleeves, but I'm not sure if they ever just did sleeves like this. Anyhow, I'm used the sleeves from the Past Patterns 1910 Tucked Blouse pattern, which I've made and love. Just used the lower half of the sleeve pattern. Those tucks sure eat up the fabric!

Oh no! Looks like I have some fixing to do! 🤪
