Sage green cotton linen overskirt that ties over the separate white overskirt with a ruffled hem. Both are sitting on a petticoat I made that sports 5 layers of tulle!

White blouse has shirring in the back & sleeves. I did those pintucks manually (it was a pain). Last thing I need to do it attach the buttons & make the button holes on the blouse, trim the drawstrings, and probably wash off that blue fabric marker.

My serger was not functional while I was making this, so it's all rolled hems & French seams. 💀

I have several more pieces, both bags & clothing, and I'm going to be vending at a teeny tiny local convention this weekend! Doubt I'm going to sell much of anything.. but I hope people will at least appreciate it all! It's all much prettier in-person.

Everything is self-drafted.

Thanks for checking it out!

This is adorable! I love the use of pintucks to shape the bodice

Aww, this is so cute! And lovely color for the skirt, am also a fan of linen.

I've been looking for some ideas for a blouse I could wear as is but also with a drindl, and those pintucks are a great idea to make this work. I'll take some inspiration from that and make a few changes to a very similar pattern I own. Would you mind sharing details on length and height? I'm assuming around 12 cm length for each of them and waist is around 8 cm-ish, counted from top?

Guess I'll make some alterations anyway, maybe even adding some around the neckline and in the back too, but a rough guide would be great, thx!
