I belong to the Edwardian Society of Oregon. I am also a lady of "size" very much like yours. So I appreciate you doing the step by step for this dress. You are right it works well for modern day and the green is gorgeous. Just last weekend our group had a meeting to discuss 1910 wardrobes and what a lady might need to be "fitted" out. Under things, day dresses (like your's) sunday best, evening gown, picnic dress and a travel suit. I think I'm going to use this pattern to do my day dress. Thank you again, you did a great job. btw, really wished you lived close enough to play with our group, I think you would enjoy our outings.
I love it! I've recently started looking into integrating some 1910s clothing into my everyday wear. Lower-calf is a more practical skirt length, and I have sensory issues with make-up, which is more-or-less required for the 20s-50s eras (well, for adult women at least). Fashions from 19-teens has got to be one of the fastest moving decades in history, and finding reference works is really tricky. Victorian and Edwardian, easy, 1920s to current day, a doddle, but that 'missing' decade (which has at least three distinct 'looks') is much harder to pin down. This dress will defiantly join my queue, it looks pretty easy to make and easy to wear, and I like the idea of making a few chemisettes or vestees (which will help keep the dress clean), before trying my hand at the full lingerie blouse/waist.
You might not have had the suggested fabric, but that green is absolutely gorgeous on you 🟩❤. It's a really cute dress.👗 Thank you for sharing it with us.
Adding a pleat was a brilliant fix! That kinda thing usually happens to me when I’m still sewing after midnight- or unwell. I applaud your clever solution in the moment, as I usually give up, go to bed, and leave it for Tomorrow Me to invent a fix. Hope you are feeling up to par again!
The dress is lovely - you can wear it anywhere in any time period. Well done. And yay for plus size patterns. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
The Scroop Patterns Robin dress is a good mid-century style! Ora Lin Patterns has the Sophie dress, which is more Victorian/historical looking that doesn't have a defined waistline, but has a tie belt.
You make alterations look so easy! And the dress is lovely. I'm glad you'll be able to use it outside of costuming as well 😃
Thank you! Me too!
The garment is well-fitting and very flattering.

I'm sure I would love your outings! Thank you!
I love this dress, and with the right accessories a person could wear this and it would look completely modern.
I think so too!
Its adorable!
Thank you!
A charming and very timeless look - easily changeable with accessories. Looks wonderful on you 💚.
Thank you so much!
Such a pretty dress, it looks fantastic on you!
Thank you!
I love a size inclusive pattern!
Me too!

Love that idea!!

Thank you! Seersucker is definitely practical for me here in south Louisiana!
I missed this pattern test, but I just did her 11 gore 1908 skirt and it’s darling. I love how this dress looks on you!!
Thank you! I wish I had been able to do the 11 gore skirt!
Thanks for figuring out that “lower sleeve” piece. We don’t see many sleeves in that style anymore. As rare as a gusset.
True! ❤️

❤️❤️ Thank you! I agree!
I really like this dress. And I love your furry overlord.
😃He keeps me on track!
Totally wearable for any era!
I agree!
It’s super cute. Great work.
Thank you!
I love the finished dress!
Thank you!
Gorgeous work - that fabric is perfect for the look!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for making this dress! I was on the fence about the pattern but it looks beautiful! 😁.
I'm so glad you like it!
I like this! I made a 1919 skirt a couple of years ago and really enjoyed the process.
Thank you!
Do you recommend a good pattern for the 1940-50s era for a house dress? Or even a farm women's chore dress?

1917-18 is one of my favorites. Yours looks great. Seersucker fabric?
Thank you! Yep, Seersucker!
Like it. Im a plus sized lady, and i dont normally like dresses.
Thank you!
You did such a beautiful job with this!
I absolutely adore clothes from this period, and yet have never tried to sew any of them. Why is that???
Same! I just started!
💜💜💜
Thanks!
Nice a not really history bound.
I like that it's not super historical looking.
