Festive Day Dress
I've studied fashion through time for most of my life and finally decided to design a few outfits for one of my favorite eras: the post Civil War and early Victorian era. This day dress could have been worn at any time from the late 1860's to the turn of the century and been considered fashionable. Styles didn't change as swiftly then as they do now. I would really like to someday make this style up and wear it to a costume ball. I even have a friend who could make the bonnet!
