@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 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.
