Victorian
Pre-Civil War

My drawers and chemise from the 1880 dress will suffice for undergarments. I'm working on a corset appropriate for the time period. I cheated and purchased a hoop skirt on eBay, because I found one cheaper than I could make myself.

Victorian Late Bustle Era
Riding Dress

I like the simplicity of the riding dresses of the time. I have a rich, dark green wool in hand and a pattern (or three) picked out for this project.

Renaissance

I'd like to visit the local Renaissance Festival in costume this year. I made a simple green bodice out of a remnant, a white blouse, and a brown underskirt. I dyed a linen/cotton blend, which looks like linen, yellow/gold for the overskirt skirt. I still have to research and get the appropriate accessories.
