HSF challenge #5 Peasants and Pioneers

Here's my latest effort: An 1837 day bodice made to match a preexisting skirt. Unfortunately I've been so busy working on another project that this is the only photo I have of it for the moment.

The Challenge: #5 Peasants and Pioneers

Fabric: Reproduction cotton print

Pattern: Drafted

Year: 1837

Notions: Thread and piping

How historically accurate is it? Not terribly. It's almost completely machine sewn

Hours to complete: 18

First worn:  Not for awhile

Total cost: Free. I raided my fabric stash.

Nothing much more to say about it. The next challenge is stripes and while I have grand visions of an afternoon bustle dress, it'll probably end up being something simpler.
