She’s so pretty, most likely homemade in 1879-1880. Machine stitched, hand finished with only one soutache side detail…she’s got stories. She’s also the first of our patterns that we’ll be offering soon, more information coming. 🙂

And In The Works- Patterns!
She’s just as pretty coming or going…this pretty little two tone grey silk gown circa 1874-75 is the second one we’ll be patterning for our collection for sale. I love cheeky details, don’t you? 🙂
Winter In The West
Day Three of #VictorianFebruary hosted by @ladyrebeccafashions is: “Winter”…well, Los Angeles isn’t that wintry, but when we want “weather”, we go to our house in Tombstone, AZ. Brrrrrrr! Old West Winter fun 🙂
At The Dressmaker’s Cottage at No. 11.

1890s Cape
At Big Nose Kate’s warming up with an Irish Coffee.
I’m afraid that’s pretty much it in the way of “winter” pictures- we just don’t get much weather weather in Southern California. 🙂
From The Lily Absinthe Collection
Ruby red cashmere, fur, and lace addition to our museum collection. I confess…I tried her on and twirled! 🙂
At The Atelier
Unique extant early 1890s bodice with all over hand embroidery in a figured style with scattered black glass beads and heavy glass ball edging…she’s one of my secret favorites in my collection. No label, very shapely cut. Currently taking notes from her.
