ooooh, boy. This was quite a long time sewing. Hurrah for Netflix.
Someday, when I've recovered, I'll make another one. More steampunk-i-fied!
This one based on two garments from Patterns of Fashion.

Wow, did you do all those pleats yourself?

[yarwel]

Your ruffles and pleats are amazing!
Seriously, wow! You are a goddess among seamstresses!

[E-Beth]

ah. I have a secret weapon. My vintage ruffler/pleater attachment on my old Singer machine.
Even though it makes lovely pleats, it still takes a lot of ironing to turn the results into pretty pleats.

Very nice, and I really enjoyed the blog post too! I have used the pleater, and it is a useful thing indeed!

[kenaiqueen]

Beautiful! And I have had a pleater on my wish list for a long time.

Very nice outfit!

I must get the courage to try my pleater at some point.

[Jobee]

Excellent work! That took dedication.

Wow, just stunning. The trim is amazing. And I love her wig, great curls.
