Victorian Bianca

I have in mind two future Victorian photo ideas, one with Rex and Bianca, and the other with my Victorian family. I wondered if the two sizes of women (FID and JID) could share the same clothes, so I'd only have to make one set of new Victorian gowns. You know, 'two birds with one stone'.

Then, since I had both Bianca and Isis standing in my workspace, I thought I'd try Isis' gown on Bianca to see how it would fit her. Not bad! Which of course meant taking some photos.....

The skirt and sleeves were a touch short, and the jacket needed to be pinned tighter in the back, but otherwise I thought it fit pretty well. So the pattern will just need some small adjustments to make any future Victorian gowns fit both body sizes.

Bianca looks lovely! I am beginning to think that she can wear anything from any period. She just has that look about her.

When did Canada grant women the right to vote? We in the US will be celebrating the 19th Amendment (women's voting rights) next year.

Yes, she seems to look fantastic in everything.

As far as giving women the vote, the province of Manitoba was first in 1916. The rest of the country followed in 1918. So, a few years sooner than in the USA.

Bianca is so beautiful! You could dress her in a flour sack and she would still manage to look lovely. However, luckily for her, she lives with you and a flour sack will never be part of HER wardrobe :o)

The photos are beautiful, Martha.
