Curtain-along Gown Done!

I finished my Curtain-along gown, and just in the nick of time as I'd wanted to finish it in 2012!  In case, you don't know what the Curtain-along is, lots of us are making gowns out of this curtain fabric, which comes in lots of different color ways.  You can read more on Jen Thompson's post.

I was inspired by Jenny Rose's ruffled jacket and this period gown:

So here is mine. It's a quarter-back anglaise with a two layered peplum. I like the little apron on it, but I'm not sold on the sleeve flounces.  But they're easy enough to take out.  I had the red ribbon set aside for this project (it came with a batch of craft stuff from my mom a while ago) and then American Duchess put a similar ribbon on hers.  I don't want to be a copy cat, but I like it, so I'm going to keep it. Plus, we're all using the same fabric anyway! ;-)

Here are a few pictures without the sleeve flounces:
