Several years ago my parents bought me Anne Shirley's Wedding Dress pattern, and just this spring I've pulled it out with some fabric and started dreaming. I've had the gold silk duponi in my stash for a year or so now (shh...I only paid $2 for the yardage, thanks to one of my wonderful thrift stores!), the vintage buttons, and very recently picked up the lace fabric (also from the thrift store).
After I publish this post, I'm going to look up what those buttons are saying. Here's hoping it's not anything to crazy! ;) Am I the only one who finds vintage metal buttons fascinating?
Do I have an occasion for this dress? no...
Why am I making it? um...for fun?
Maybe it's because of Downton Abbey? maybe...
Perhaps you like the Edwardian era? oh yes...
Or you grew up with Anne of Green Gables and always longed for a kindred spirit? most definitely...

Oh my goodness! I had no idea that you could get Anne of Green Gables patterns! I have always absolutely loved that dress. Please post pictures when you finish it!
How lovely!! I am sure the finished dress will be gorgeous.

I am looking forward to seeing the completion of this pattern. I love Anne of Green Gables. Especially the books but I also love the movies. :) You always manage to find the most amazing things to sew and beautiful notions to sew them with.
Thankyou all. :) I will be sure to post pictures! Just tonight I started cutting into the silk. Fun, fun!
