My first Edwardian (1909 "Beatrix) skirt!
Pattern Description: 1909 "Beatrix" skirt pattern from Sense & Sensibility, based off of an original 1909 pattern. I chose the walking skirt option with the pleated back.
Pattern Sizing: I cut size...10... I think (:-P) My waist measurement is not line with my regular measurements. :-P
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing it? Yes it did!
Were the instructions easy to follow? Oh goodness, yes! They were wonderful.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the different options you can choose from, and I love the way it fits. While it is perfectly historical, it can also be worn around as modern wear without drawing a lot of attention but still being old-fashioned and elegant.
Fabric Used: twill from JoAnn's
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I attached the placket before I did the waistband... I think that's the only thing I did different.
Would you sew it again? Not only would I, but will I! Definitely. (For myself and for my sisters. :-) )
Would you recommend it to others? That's a given. I recommend all of Sense and Sensibility's patterns!! :-)
By the way, I did not make the vest; a friend from church did. I had never worn it before, and while getting ready for our concert today, I suddenly remembered it and thought, "Hey! I wonder how that would look!" I really liked how the combo turned out. :-)

Oh and I love your vest as well! did you make or where did you buy it? I really want a vest that is elegant and can go with a lot of things! I love them!
A friend of mine from church made the vest. I asked her which pattern she used but she couldn't remember. These might be similar though:
