Description
I made a variation for my victorian Day Dress: with the second bodice and the upper skirt gathered with hooks and eyes, it can now also be worn as an evening gown.
I also made the mini-hat/fascinator, which you can find as a separate project with instructions here

Just beautiful!
I have been using your Unmentionables pattern to make my own chemise and corset as the start of a Victorian costume for myself. Thank you, they have been a pleasure to work with!

Not yet. But then again, nobody has given me the private box at the opera (which I should totally have as a victorian lady) yet, either. ;)
