HSF 2014 - Challenge #6 - Fairytale ('Edwardian Tinkerbell')

The Challenge: #6 Fairytale - Edwardian Tinkerbell
Fabric: Green polycotton.
Pattern: I used Mccalls waistcoat pattern as a base then modified it significantly.
Year: 1895-1910 Going for Edwardian look to coincide with when the play was around.
Notions: Boning, hook and eye
How historically accurate is it? Well the fabric is wrong. But I think it gives a nice look. I wasn't aiming for a specific date more the feel of the era as of course this is 'fairytale'. I doubt Tinkerbell would be reading the fashion magazines. But she might have seen humans from a distance and tried to copy.


Hours to complete: I lost track but it was quite quick after I had burst of inspiration. Wanted to do a shirt with peter pan collar...but ran out of time.
First worn: To take photos.
Total cost: I'd say at a guess £8?
Its worn with this skirt and this shirt.

And because I couldn't resist a little photoshopping....
