Step #1 to an Edwardian wardrobe
The Lord has graciously provided a way for me to start collecting patterns for our intended Canada trip next year. It came as a direct answer to prayer, and I pray that I will glorify Him in how I use it! He is so good.
Using the surprise gift certificate I received from Sense & Sensibility, I chose to start by purchasing the Edwardian blouse pattern. The pattern contains such a delightful variety of blouses that one can make a whole wardrobe of blouses out that $7.95 download! The blouse can button in the front or in the back, be smooth or gathered, and feature embroidery or lace. It can be worn without or without a corset. One may also choose from a wide variety of sleeve styles and necklines. I love the thought of this pattern because it can be adapted for historical or modern wear. I could wear an "Anne" dress to the store and people probably wouldn't think I'm all that weird. So I'd hope, at least. :-)
Below are some fun blouse inspirations, as well as other features that I plan to add to my collection.
Even though it is "just historical costuming", may God still receive the glory!
