My very newest and 1st sewn 1860's ballgown
Well, I decided I need to make a ballgown.. and it was my first I made!
I'm excited how the results turned out! I went along making this from a couple of original designs- the trim work I made similar to them! I took the Simplicity pattern of the ballgown and I completely did it to what I had in mine's
mind!
So these are some pics from when it was still in the process and worn at the Tillie Pierce Bed and Breakfast and at the Eisenhower Ball! Oh the girl in the photo is my friend, Michelle, and the man in the other photo is my best friend Ej :)
