Pioneer Costume

Please ignore the messy house in the background. I didn't have time to clean my home the few days that I worked on this project. Also the threads and the tired look on Kari's face, it was late and we were both super tired.

This is a Pioneer costume that I made. It was all made without a commercial pattern. I did make a pattern for the bodice so it would fit Kari's figure, the rest including sleeves were made up as I went. I think it turned out pretty good. We tried to get it as historically correct as we could with limited funds, and comfort in mind. We did not make any petticoats, and made it short sleeves instead of long. All in all I think it turned out pretty darn cute!
