Naomi's Edwardian Aprons
Thank you so much for providing this lovely apron pattern. One day while watching The Masterpiece Theatre's utterly perfect rendition of "Pollyanna," I promised myself I would one day find an Edwardian apron pattern similar Nancy's (the maid).
Girls’ 1780s Portrait Dress Pattern
I have long loved the beautiful, pastoral portraits of the late Georgian Era. Family groupings set in fields and beneath trees painted by artists like Thomas Gainsborough marked a departure from the stiffer, more formal portraits of a generation before. Children in these paintings gradually made an amazing transition from miniature adults to playful, happy youngsters in relaxed poses. Some of my favorite paintings are by George Romney and Élisabeth-Louise Vigée-Le Brun. Inspired by these lovely, classic portraits, I decided to create this pattern for my own girls, who adore the full skirts and wide sashes of the time.

Robin's Regency Ensemble
I studied abroad in the UK about two years ago, and recently went back for a visit. As soon as I found out that I would be able to visit Bath and surroundings, I knew I had to create a Regency dress.
Rachel's 1909 Edwardian Dress
I made this dress from the 1909 Edwardian Dress Pattern. I had to modify the shoulder to add more length to it. I also wanted to be able to just slip it on so I cut the back piece 3" in from the fold and added three rows of cased elastic.
