Emma Woodhouse, from Emma, by Jane Austen.
The third installment in my "Heroines" costume series.

When I saw this fabric, I knew it was the one for Emma. :) The flowers are pink/peach instead of blue, but besides that it's pretty close (see Atlanta's post for inspiration photos and her lovely replica version). I just love the costumes in the new BBC series!
I had to try the Regency Colouring Tutorial too. ;)

For the skirt and sleeves, I used Simplicity 7089 (with less of a train for the skirt); and Simplicity 5673 as a base for the top. The back fastens with a snap and hook & eye.
