Historical Costume Festival - "Sense & Sensibility" inspired dress

This is my sixth entry to the Historical Costume Festival.

Back in the spring of 2008, I sewed a Marianne Dashwood inspired costume for our trip to Williamsburg, Virginia.

::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
