Historical Costume Festival - "North & South" inspired costume

This is my fourth entry to the Historical Costume Festival


Oh, how I love the movie, North & South {2004}!!!! When I first saw the movie last year, within a week I already had a dress copied from the movie. This is only movie costume I've made to hold that record. =)

::What I did::


I draped the pattern on my dress form and drafted the sleeve pattern. I'm hoping to add sheer under-sleeves sometime - once I figure out how to do it and find the perfect fabric. =)  The fabric is from Joann Fabrics and I bought it for only 88 cents a yard back in 2007! If only they still had fabric for so cheep. The lace trim around the neckline is from Philadelphia, PA and I bought it for only 25 cents a yard. And it is 100% cotton trim!!
