The color looks more red here than the pumpkin orange it is. I'm sure the buttons aren't entirely period, but that's fine too. So I have something new to wear tomorrow, hooray!

Open Robe
Whew, well I just finished sewing like a half hour ago! I have to redo the sleeves because I didn't set them in quite right - the gathers in the back need to be higher up. I thought the sleeves were cooperating entirely too much - now I know why! But it'll be fine for the picnic. And the robe fits great - the sleeves are just a little poofy in the back. Which is why I'm only posting pics of the front! But other than that issue, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out!
