Lavender in the Mid-19th Century

Hello everyone! I'm sorry for being such a bad blogger.  I haven't had much time to work on garments so therefore I haven't posted very much :( but very soon I'll be out of school and sewing up a storm for the summer reenacting season!

Anyway, in preparation for finishing my PhD lavender sheer (project half done, thank you Dreamstress for the lovely acronym!) I've been on a pinning spree of lavender dresses in the mid-19th century.  I'll let the garments speak for themselves--they are all quite lovely (and I want every single one of them!)

Have a lovely day, everyone!
