An idea....

I have come up with an idea. Why not do a modern take for the "Double Period Project"?

 

I can make a jacket like Lydia's....

Or I could base a jacket off of this....

 

Or even this....

the choices are endless!

I'm considering taking this route. It would also be cheaper, as I wouldn't need as much fabric.

A lovely purple gown from....

The Portrait of a Lady (1996)

 

 

  

 

This film is set approximately in 1876-1879. Isn't this dress drool-worthy?!? The beading and color are so lovely! (Disclaimer: I've not seen this film. Only pictures of the dresses.)

Inspiration from the 1870s

 I have found some lovely inspiration in screen-caps from the movie "Daniel Deronda" (2002). Once again, I have not seen this film, only the screen-caps. :)

Isn't the sea green delicious? And the bead work! I love it!
