Yes, I did finish this last spring for Costume Con, but I finally took the time to take pictures for my website, which means I can post something now! I used the Laughing Moon 1840s dress pattern, the basic fitted view, but changed to be back-closing. I had to adjust the darts to fit me, but other than that the pattern worked really well. The most time-intensive part was doing the piping around the edges of the bodice and in the armholes.
Its beautiful, Gloria. It would look really nice with one of those lace pelerines, ala Cranford-style.
