The Hopeless Romantics Invade Gaskell Ball, 1830s Style!

There were so many beautifully made gowns at Gaskell Ball. Most of us used the same pattern, but I loved all the variations in fabric choice and trimming.

We made a lovely rainbow!

And had a ton of fun!

Here I am with the other pale-colored ladies.

Kim had such a cute doll-like shorter dress.

Natalie of Frolicking Frocks looked just like a fashion plate.

Breana of Mothball Fleet had such a daring and darling color combination, with perfect piping.

Elizabeth had a bodice with impressive detailing, and a padded hem.

Amanda’s dress looked great in motion.

Samantha had such a cute bow sash.

Jean-Anne went for a bold print that worked out great.

Jenny looked elegant in white.

Christina of The Laced Angel used an old sari, to great effect.

Kathy of Stuff I Sew had an impressively smocked dress. Read the details here!

Monica had charming little fans and tucks on her dress.

Kaila had really lovely piping and pleats.

Cassandra’s dress reminded me of a Disney princess.

You’ve seen mine, so here’s a silly photo.

I am looking forward to next year’s theme!
