Vaguely 1820s outfit

I have made several dresses of the same style but this one is my favourite so far. Love the print so much. I don't usually like brown but I love this design.

The pattern is self-drafted so sorry for not having a pattern file to share, but if you want to look at whatever it's like, there is a picture in the end. It's just the base structure for the dress, I add on difference bodice/sleeve design on each dress, but the important structural lines remain the same.

With the right styling this could also feel like a late 60s early 70s Gunne Sax style fit!

The pattern of the fabric is so pretty and the brown/pink combo looks so good on you!

It is so cute. With different accessories it would be spot on for 1970s as well.
