Off to Tara

I finally got that picture of me in the 1860's day dress resized and I thought I would share it. With this computer, I have a new photo editor, and I am still getting to know how to use it.

The dress is a dark blue fabric with small purple flowers on it. It is really pretty, and I have enough left over for a small purse. I worked hard on it so I could wear it for Christmas. Without the layers of petticoats, and pantelets, it is lightweight enough, that I can wear it year round. Although for now, I am saving it for special occasions.
