Civil war dresses


So I have had a lot of people checking out my civil war dresses so I thought I would put these up. These are dresses I made for myself (center), Trixie ( red), and Candi (blue). I think we all look pretty good. :-) I have since taken my collar off and replaced it with a handmade knit one, added more period jewelry, and added a day cap instead of the hat. My dress was made from homespun fabric. Light and breezy. I want to make a new one but I don't know what pattern to use. I am thinking about using a day bodice with a peplum instead of the one piece work dress. Something a little dressier. Here are some different picks of my dress.
