Back in the spring of 2008, I sewed a Marianne Dashwood inspired costume for our trip to Williamsburg, Virginia.
::Inspiration::
::My Version::
{The first two pictures are of me in Williamsburg. While the rest are my Senior pictures.}
::What I did::
I used Sense & Sensibility's Elegant Lady's Closet pattern for the dress; and Sense & Sensibility's Regency Spencer Jacket & Pelisse pattern for the pelisse.
The dress is made out of white voile, with a white muslin petticoat underneath. For the pelisse I just used broadcloth in a creamy yellow. I did notice after making my pelisse that I forgot to add 3/4 sleeves. Oops. :p

Wow I think this is my favorite so far! So soft and sweet! I love that striped voile.
Beautiful! I just adore Marianne's gowns in the '95 movie. Her style was so simple, yet very feminine and girly! - lovely job on the dress! :)
Oh, and Colonial Williamsburg is quite an amazing place. ;)
Love that movie! Beautiful dress too!
