Crawford Manor walking dress

I made this dress for the Steampunk World's Fair 2010.  Mid 1880's bustle style day dress of cotton and linen.

Here's the inspiration.  From a doll website called "Crawford Manor Dolls".

 

Here I am with my good friend Beth:

I also made the hat, which I blocked with buckram over a block of styrofoam that I carved to shape.  It is directly inspired by Gypsy Lady Hat Designs.
