Halloween: Eliza Bennette

[April Pie]

Though I didn't originally make this for Halloween it is doubling as my costume this year since I'm going to a historical costume party.

It is all hand sew and is worn over a period correct shift, corset and petticoat.

The photos were taken by my father at a local estate.
