>Teens Black Dress

> So I got the itch to start a dress… and I did. Ha.
Teens dress I drafted from looking at period pics.  Actually probably around 1914 ish, maybe a little earlier since I was basing the top off of a 1913 book and the bottom off of a 1914 existing garment, and the skirt drape is actually a little later than that.  Ah well, I wanted to be creative.  I’ve got yards of this awful black lace that I’m going to make it up with, with these trims, and if I don’t like it on the ebay it will go.  I’ve got a lovely bit of authentic sequined lace that will be a cummerbund, but it won’t reach all around so I’m making a bow for the back across the waist, kind of like in the Arnold pattern pic.

And with the other trim, before I made the over bodice a smaller width.
