Not that you'd think it was anything other than mid 1890's with those sleeves but, ya know...
hahaha! Sleeve of Doom, love it! Not crazy about the bodice of this one but really like the colors.

Yeah, not a fan of the bodice either. However, the skirt material and the sleeves? I want.
DeleteI actually like how the pattern of the main fabric is repeated in the lace appliqués. And agreed, fabulous fabric!
