I'm really excited about this costume, but also really nervous at the same time; I am using pieces of 7 different patterns, and altering all of it heavily for this costume. Thankfully though, I made 2 practice versions of the top, so I can work out any details that might need changing; such as adding the zipper where there isn't a spot for one in the pattern, raising the neckline by a good 2 or 3 inches. The sleeves were made using 2 different patterns; the puff sleeves and main portion were from one pattern, and the bell part is from another, since I didn't have much success trying to make my own bell pattern for them.

The skirt is fairly simple, although I'll be taping pieces of the pattern together so that I don't have quite as many seams. I did NOT make the petticoat, it was purchased from a seller on E-Bay. The shoes were also from E-Bay, and the wig is from Cosworx, no styling needed!
