Introducing the Downton Abbey Collection

Finally, I know it has taken me forever since I announced I wanted to do this....but it has been a busy  few months!!!! I finally have the first outfit in the new Downton Abbey Collection done, and up on my Etsy Site!!!!!

When Kirsten heard that I was finally starting work on my Downton Abbey Collection...she begged to be the first model. I think she loves Downton Abbey almost as much as I do. Pleasant Company designed clothes, for girls of this era...but not the rich gowns that the adults wore....and I just had to dabble in this venue. This is a replication of one of Lady Mary's Tea Gowns. It is grey and white striped fabric, in an a-line gown, with a lace collar, and tiny white beads down the front. White stockings and shoes adorn her feet, and yes, those are white gloves. The outfit is finished off with a oval pearl necklace, and a straw hat with white roses. Here is the outfit I designed this one from....

I think I did a pretty good job of replicating it!!!!  Anyway, it has been fun!!!!
