My 1860s Wool Day Dress

Dear Sis,

I absolutely love the way my wool day dress turned out! It is my favorite! Thanks for helping me make it. Tag-teaming a dress makes it go together so quickly:) 

We used the exact same bodice pattern as I did when making my silk day dress. The fabric is a lovely wool herringbone. It is lightweight and delicate and a breath taking color! Thanks for finding it!!!

The fashion bonnet you made me is a perfect match with both my silk and wool day dresses! 

The silk bow belt you made is a very famine touch. I can’t wait to finish trimming it in black velvet! 

All the self-fabric buttons down the front of the bodice and between the bands of velvet on the skirt add such nice texture! 

Thanks for all your assistance!

Love,
