Jane Austen Tour - Marianne Dashwood Costume

Feelin' Feminine is hosting a Jane Austen tour (like my AOGG fashion week) and I will be joining in for a few days. =)

The first thing I will be sharing is my Marianne Dashwood outfit, that I copied from the 1995 version of Sense & Sensibility. 

::Inspiration::

I recreated this outfit of Marianne Dashwood back in 2008, for a trip to Williamsburg, VA. I only had one problem. I forgot to add sleeves to the pelisse! But it's OK, as it still works with out the sleeves. =) 

::Materials::

Patterns I used:
Elegant Ladies Closet Pattern - (Click here to view more details)
Regency Spencer Pelisse Pattern - (Click here to view more details)  - I changed the design of the Pelisse to match the one in the movie, Sense & Sensibility (1995).

Fabrics:

White strip voile for the dress and yellow broadcloth for the pelisse.

::My Version::

Now, these pictures are my Senior pictures. Which explanations how my hair suddenly got so long, and why I have different glasses on. =)

These pictures are definitely some of my favorite pictures. And don't you just the house in the background?!? A bunch of girls call it Pemberly, and we wish could live there. =)

30 Day Challenge - Day 3

Day 8: {A thank you letter to someone who has changed your life. Favorite City for Food}

I decided to change today's challenge to, favorite city for food. =) Before I was gluten-free my favorite city for food was/is Boston, MA. There is this part of Boston called, Little Italy and they have the most awesome food down there!  Like when I was there in 2008, we went to this little diner in Little Italy and they had the best cheese pizza I ever had. And get this, I don't normally like cheese pizza. I'm more a pepperoni, or onions and sausage girl. Yummy!  But wait, there is one more yummy place to go to. Like Mike's Pastry! THE best bakery ever! I have had a canola, cookies, Oreo cake (I get this at least once every time I visit Boston), eclair, whoopie pie, and homemade ice-cream. They are all simply scrumptious. You must check it out when ever you are in Boston.  ;-)     

Day 9: {A photo you took.}

 Piccadilly Circus, London, UK (2009)

Day 10: {A photo of you taken over ten years ago.}

This picture is way over ten years ago. More like, sixteen years ago. =) This is a picture of me and Gabrielle back in '94, I think. 

Day 11: {A photo of you taken recently.}

{Last week}

Congratulations, Breezy! This is so exciting that you won! By the way girls, if you love paper dolls you have to see Breezy and her sister, Emily Rose, paper dolls they created. Their paper dolls are modestly dressed, and are of strong Christian ladies throughout history. My sisters and I love them!  =)  I just had to let you all know about their wonderful paper dolls. =) Hope you don't mind, Breezy.
