This week Atlanta is hosting the Historical Costume Festival. It sounded like so much fun, I just had to join in with some old pictures of my costumes. As I'm too sick to take new pictures.
For my first drafted pattern back in 2008, I wanted to copy one of my favorite dresses that Grace Kelly wears. It is from the movie, Rear Window.
::Inspiration::
::My Version::
::Fabrics Used::
The bodice is made out of black velveteen. While the skirt is made out of gray satin with a sliver glitter organza overlay. I drafted the pattern for the bodice and sleeves. For the skirt I just used a circle skirt pattern that I have from simplicity.

So lovely! You did an excellent job of capturing the classic flavor of the original. Love the gloves, also=)
Delightful!

So pretty! That has also been one of my very favorite of her dresses. :) Good job!
It's so classy! Great interpretation of Kelly's dress! I love the swishiness of the skirt!!
I love it! It's the perfect modern prom or ball dress, but also so clearly Grace Kelly!
