Finished my daughter's Halloween costume.
Early 1850's mourning attire.
All made by me, l and drafted by me, including the bonnet, using no commercial patterns.
@sewblue may I ask, do you have any advice or resources on the gloves? Do you work off a base pattern or just freestyle your own draft?

@sewblue fantastic work! I’m assuming this was a request from your daughter, so a nonfiction book recommendation if she hasn’t heard of it - *Wisconsin Death Trip* by Michael Lesy. I think out of print right now, but lots of used copies available. Set a bit later than this amazing outfit (late 1800s vs mid), but this totally gives off vibes of that book.

@sewblue I got to meet my great grandmother only one time. It was on my grandparents' ranch in the desert of Durango MX when I was very young. She dressed just like this. I was told she dressed like this every day after her husband passed until she passed as well.

@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 Absolutely amazing. And very creepy. I would not want to spot her standing on a corner, staring in my direction
