Suffragette

Here is the finished first blouse, and linen skirt for my suffragette outfit. Patterns are the 1903 shirtwaist and trumpet skirt from Truly Victorian.

Blouse: This is my first try at the Truly Victorian 1903 Shirtwaist pattern. Adjustments made- I added a few pintucks into the neckline and top of the sleeves before cutting out the pattern pieces. I needed to do a bit of pattern adjusting to the shoulders, as I have a wider bust than shoulders.

This wonderful sash is from Etsy seller Hedonistic Costumes, and it is absolutely wonderful.

The skirt is Truly Victorian 1903 Trumpet Skirt pattern. Adjustments made- I added vents to the front panels with buttons for a bit of extra detail. I also moved the opening to the right side.
