Forest Maiden Dress.
I so love this dress, when I wear it I feel like Maid Marian, or a woodland princess.
~~~
I sewed it way back a long time ago.
I didn't like the fabric too much in the beginning and only used it because that was what I had on hand at the time, but in the end I think that the color was just perfect.

The inspiration comes from the A and E version of Lorna Doone.
The dress laces up the front and the bottom is open with a green underskirt beneath.
With it I'm wearing an oatmeal colored peasant blouse and my black cape.
That's beautiful!!

These are lovely pictures and such a pretty dress - I Love the Princess Bride. Growing up my girlfriends and I called each other Fair Maidens, we still do sometimes : )

ReplyDeleteI have to ask you, though, How did you do your hair?!?! It is SO pretty!! I think I have done something similar, but mine never looks as soft and feminine like yours does! You look picturesque. :)
