Jillian's Steampunk Outfit

My boyfriend and I went to New York Comic Con last week and cosplayed as the Luteces from the video game Bioshock Infinite. The game is set in a somewhat Steampunk, Edwardian utopia, and when I started researching for these costumes four months ago I knew right off the bat that I wanted to use your Beatrix Walking Skirt pattern.

1909 "Beatrix" Skirt Pattern

Created from an original 1909 May Manton pattern, this is my nine-gore “Beatrix” Walking Skirt pattern. This pattern can be used with the Edwardian Walking Jacket or with the “Beatrix” Jacket pattern.

Natalie's "Beatrix" Skirt

 My goodness, I started this skirt November 30th, but finally it’s wearable. Am quite happy with it…the drape is lovely and oooh, it’s fun to wear. It’s made of a pretty worsted wool plaid in a soft green with red and yellow accents and blue undertones. I chose the trained version, and also opted

Carmen created a suit from my “Beatrix” patterns and a 1910s Tea Gown for her vintage dancing group. She writes, I just love these patterns.
