@sewblue scrolled past it a couple of times now, this really creeps me out over and over again. Maybe I watched too many horror movies, but the imagination plays crazy seeing this

Awesome work! -

@sewblue that is some movie costume level creepiness right there! I’d run the other way if this was out in the street. Very cool.

@sewblue If that’s what they wore in the morning I really don’t want to see their evening wear. Creepy.

@madrush I draped a sloper on her then used Norah Waugh's "Cut of Women's Clothes" to draft up the pattern.

@sewblue In the 1850's, I wonder if the mourning dress was passed around town, as needed. But in those days, perhaps everyone needed to keep their funeral clothes handy!
