Beautiful Inspiration
I recently found a link on another blog to this collection of antique dresses, I think from the Smithsonian (is that right, Rebecca?). Anyway, I had to post some of my favorites!! :-D
Cynthia, anyone? (Sorry, it really reminds me of Cynthia though. :-) )

Absolute gorgeousness!! This is late 1850's, early 1860's.

On a side note:
Believe it or not, I have been sewing PEOPLE clothes as well as doll clothes! Got stuck on the zipper on Saturday (first time sewing a zipper) and just haven't picked it up since then, but I might this evening or tomorrow. Will say no more. :-)
Also, check out my Wives and Daughters link; I have edited some of the graphics to make it more interesting. Let me know what you think. :-)
