My first entry for the Historical Costume Inspiration Festival is a doll costume which I have posted about before--the yellow gown Queen Victoria wears to the King's birthday, in The Young Victoria:
I love this film, and I just had to recreate one of the costumes! I had all the fabric and trims for this particular costume, so I was really excited to try sewing it.
The doll in the photo is actually an 11 1/2 inch Mary Poppins doll. ;) The dress uses three different fabrics--yellow fabric, peach-colored overlay fabric, and the lace. I used different patterns from the Simplicity Museum Collection (to me, these are must-have sewing patterns!); and I tried to make it resemble the original pretty closely, using the fabric/trims I had. :) There are things I would do differently next time, but overall it turned out the way I wanted it to.
