I suppose it's fitting that I don't have a name for this costume yet. The finished outfit was put together for the first time to teach H. G. Wells' The Time Machine. In the story, the main character is not named, simply called the Time Traveller. So, until she decides to tell me her name, she doesn't have one. ;-)

The skirt pattern was from Scroop Patterns. The Fantail Skirt. I was honored to be a tester for this pattern during its final stages of development. I am very happy with it!! The blouse (shirt waist) is a Truly Victorian pattern. #TV491 the 1893 Blouse Waist. The tie was a copied / self drafted item. I just bought a tie from a thrift store, tore it apart and adapted it to fit my torso length and desired width.

    I adore the Victorian era but I live in the 21st century. I strive for authenticity but not to the point of obsession (usually). Unless the TARDIS shows up, I'm only ever going to have to 'look' the part. Sometimes close enough really is good enough.
