Nothing like a dead line to get a UFO to the finish line. 1909 Olive dress is done. Finally. I only conceived of the idea and bought the fabric 2 years ago! It had its first trip out last Thursday. There are a couple of things I hope to tweek eventually but for now it is done and wearable.
One of the things I want to fix on this dress is the decorative buttons on the bodice. They need to move up a bit. I have to remember to smooth down the bodice over the “girls” after I lift my arms. Other than that, I am happy with how it turned out. It was pretty comfy.
I think it is amazing I do love the buttons you made and the color is perfect. The style is one I do enjoy it is also a very flattering dress. Never cut your hair that Gibson is nice with the age of the dress, but you know that. I think I have mentioned that I am a artist and I have painting a few items from that decade. I would love some pictures of the wee items the ladies wore on their waistline belts. Do you know were one could obtain such information. Take care!

Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate them! I think a Google search would do it for what was on the belts. Start with images of chatelaines and belt buckles.
