I have made many costumes for these parties over the past 20 years. We have been the Munsters, a 1700's Scottish couple, Greek gods, Rhett and Scarlett, Vikings, and many others.
This year, in honor of my husband's love of old automobiles, I made Edwardian Era driving outfits.
I am very proud of how they turned out. They are very authentic and I can just picture us motoring down a dirt road in a "Tin Lizzy".
It took me 4 weeks, 4 denim needles, 12 yards of cotton duck fabric, and 10 yards of trim to create these.
I also spilled blood for these, as sewing buttons on this heavy weight fabric caused me to jab my fingers many times as I worked on these.
they turned out pretty well. The flowers on the woman's hat came from Goodwill.
