Getting to know Minna Canth by sewing
Meet Minna Canth, a famous Finnish author and see how I replicated her 1860s outfit.
My Elliptical Crinoline Dress
I made an 1860s elliptical crinoline dress inspired by the painting Women in the Garden by French artist Claude Monet.
Crinoline mania continues: 1860s elliptical crinoline
I made an elliptical crinoline from a Truly Victorian pattern.
An Edwardian corset cover out of silk curtains
I made an Edwardian corset cover out of leftover curtain silk after finishing my Victorian silk petticoat. So much ruffle!
A wool walking skirt
I made the 1898 walking skirt using the pattern by Truly Victorian. The skirt matches my tailored waistcoat and it features huge pockets!
Edwardian inspired ensemble
My new Edwardian inspired outfit consists of a Truly Victorian Edwardian walking skirt and a lacy shirtwaist Beatrix blouse by Sensibility patterns.
