Historical Costume Festival - "Felicity: An American Girl Adventure" inspired dress

This is my third entry to the Historical Costume Festival.

Back in 2007 my sister, Gabrielle and I worked on researching a dress that Felicity (of American Girl) wears. It is her old meet dress and one of her dresses in the movie, Felicity: An American Girl Adventure (2005).

::What we did::

Using simplicity 3723 for the starting point, we had the bodice and skirt be separated, unlike the pattern were it is together. We boned, interfaced, and lined the bodice. While for the skirt, we just sewed and gathered three lengths of fabric into a waistband.
