victorian shirt dress

 i don't know about you, but if i get stuck and loose momentum on a project it can be many months before i pick it up again and finish it.

all the chilly weather we've been having inspired me to finally deal with the collar i was having trouble with, and add the pearl snaps to this figure flattering shirt dress. a prototype for what i hope will become a mainstay of the elzzadoll line.
i designed it after falling in love with the tailoring of the Victorian jacket i made at halloween from a "Truly Victorian" pattern.
 i played with western shirt style cuffs, and plan to add yoke details to future shirt dresses
