Hettie's Work Dress

Hettie, a girl of the 1870s, needed a dress. Something she could go to work in, but something not too drab or boring. Lucky her, I found a print with tiny little flowers that ought to serve a girl well.

Kirsten serves as my model.

Hettie's owner told me that she needed sleeves she could push up when she worked, so I put elastic casing in the ends.

The back.
