YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
My second Helldorado and my first in proper western dress. And i have to say that while i could rattle off the problems and mistakes in the garment, I MADE MY FIRST western dress and i didn't even have a real pattern. L from the bordello helped me expand a child's pattern to my size and considering, it came out ok.
This style is called a Polonaise and is from 1880's.
There is a bustle in the back,
...and of course i had to make bloomers!
I bought a corset today (10% off for locals!) i know very well i could make one, and i will. someday. but for now i have one.
then i was inspired- with my new pair of bloomers and a corset, all i need is a pair of striped sox and a chemise and i have a saloon girl outfit for evening wear. which will come in handy for next weekend, the 125 anniversary of the OK corral shootout. you know, it's very hard to be a lady all the time.

Your dress came out so nice and I love the bloomers! Can't wait to see what your saloon girl outfit looks like. :)
I hope you're doing well out there in the desert. We miss you back ihere in Cali.
Fun! I love it!

So do you have the striped stockings or are you looking for them? I love the boots. I am a little envious that you have been sewing - sigh. Maybe some day.
XOXO
