I am busy finishing up my thesis! I patterened and will reproduce this stunning dress from Shippensburg University Fashion Archives and Museum (SUFAM). It belonged to Sara Boher, originally from Philadelphia, who was a member of the faculty at Shippensburg in the 1870s and 80s. She taught drawing and etymology. And, she obviously had impeccable fashion sense. I saw this dress on display a few years ago in SUFAM's exhibit, "Nineteenth-Century Costume Treasures," and knew right then that I would have to reproduce it someday. And what better way than with a pattern drafted from the original? I just purchased these two books by Frances Grimble to comare my patterns from this original. Perhaps I will be able to date the dress more precisely? And...I finally broke down and ordered these fabulous black velvet boots from Bordello. They will be worn with the dress. In many ways, they are very similar to original shoes from the time period.

Last week I posted a 1910s frock by Mrs Dunstan, and while a few of you found points to quibble about, in general the consensus was a gasp of admiration and a chorus of ‘Stunnings!’, with a staggering 24 out of 45 10/10 ratings. Still, courtesy of the non-lovers, the overall rating was only 8.9 out of 10. I know it’s winter, and coming up towards Christmas, but it doesn’t feel like it here in NZ. Asparagus is just winding up, cherries and berries are just starting, and the weather has been warm and muggy. Still, I feel I should post something a bit winter-y, holiday-y, and chocolate and plaid seem to fit the bill perfectly. You’re going to have to use just a wee bit of imagination in rating this dress, as I only have two images of it: a rather uninspiring view of the dress on display in the ‘Our New Old Clothes’ exhibition from the Shippensburg University Fashion Archives, and a gorgeous detailed image of the bodice of the dress. Let’s start …

Clothing styles became less restrictive as the women's suffrage movement was gaining momentum.
