During a 3-hour session of P&P and Noir I managed to finish a black fishtail skirt I've had lying around for ages. Now it has lots of nice fake fur and I wore it for Walpurgis Night.

For a garden party I added a shrug.

Along with the winter dress I'd like to have something for sunnier days. Before I start I need more ideas about the "authentical look" of such an outfit.

• Skirt: don't know yet
• Bodice: TV490 1892 Ball gown bodice: I think TV460 can be easily modified for the bodice.

I simply fell in love with this outfit. The lines of the jacket (the high collar and the front seam runs diagonally across the body) remind me of the uniform of a science fiction badass overlord :)

As soon as possible I'll start making patterns for the skirts and maybe I can wear it next winter :)
Basically I want to have seen some authentic patterns before I start this project, just to get an idea of how this dress could have been cut.
