Raquel’s Stunning Crossover Gown
By Jennie Chancey
My Mother bought ‘The Elegant Ladies Closet’ pattern and made me the dress for a Regency Era ball, held at our friend’s home. I just thought I would share the finished product! Didn’t Mother do a lovely job? She is quite the seamstress!
Thank you for providing such beautiful patterns!

Ahhhhh! This is so beautiful. I just drank in the photos. Such a wonderful ensemble. Thank that mother, Raquel! She is a marvel!
