From Me:
I admit, I'm posting this so I can do a link back to my other blog as "research". :-) It's probably WWI era as that cocoon coats were most popular in the late teens - although you still see them in the early 20's, easily.
Oh, so useful to see how simply it is made! And I didn't notice you had other blogs, am now following one :) Also didn't realise you are also in Historical Sew Fortnightly! Small blogosphere :D me too, though I haven't been keeping up lately, must try harder.
ReplyDeleteI've been really bad this year at keeping up. The projects I need to get done just do not line up this year at all with the HSF. I'm also in the Historical Food Fortnightly which is an interesting challenge.
