Sense & Sensibility's 1909 Dress

(Original design by Rachel Franklin)

        I made this dress for my sister Barbara.  It was for a tea at an historic 1911 house (we figured the dates were close enough!).  I liked this pattern.  I did have some trouble at the neckline, due to the thick fabric we used for the dress.   I needed to size up.  It was my first time making a dress for an adult other than myself.
