Since I first saw sleepy hollow I wanted 'That Dress' back then however I had no chance. I had to wait until I was better at sewing. Full credit goes to Colleen Atwood for the design, this dress is like the fanart of textiles :)

Where shall I start? I made this dress a while ago but didn't have a camera that could take a good picture of it, and then I forgot to take a picture of it.

I used [link] as a practise run to get the pattern right before making this dress and I'm glad that I did as it sorted out a few problems.

The busle was the hardest thing to figure out pattern wise, I couldn't get a good look at it during Sleepy Hollow so I had to make it up, just pinning various bits up until I had a shape I liked. I'm very proud of the way it turned out. The only thing I would want to change perhaps would be the thickness of the stripes as this was the only stripy fabric I could find at the time I was making the dress.

Photo of the dress in sleepy hollow [link] I didn't actually find this beautiful website of dresses until after I made the outfit, it is very worth browsing if you are interested in dresses.

That's beautiful. I can't remember what it looked like in sleep hollow but the dress here is certainly very lovely

I cried when I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet, and then I laughed really hard.

The back did take a few cuttings before I got it to work. Still I'm very pleased it worked eventually. I'm pleased you like it
