I bought this fabric ages ago to go with Judy's red striped victorian dress. We were taking a vacation trip to the U.K. this year so I decided it was finally time to finish and with lots of help from Marcus and Judy, we finished this dress in the 4 days before we left for Europe. (In the future, I recommend not trying to make a complete Victorian dress in four days.)

The photos were taken at the Kensington Palace and Prince Albert Memorial in Kensington Park, London. It was ridiculously fun to be able to stroll through the park wearing these. Ridiculously hot too and hard to move around. I dunno how people used to do it!

I love this dress and had a lot of fun making and wearing it, but I told Judy it was the last time she was going to get me into a historical dress. =D
