I wanted to turn in the direction of the fashion just before the 1920s with this dress.
In those times the dresses had no longer floor-length and the waist was no longer corseted .

Though the sheer lace part at the back and the lace parts of the sleeves are quite daring for these times ;-)

This particular dress is an afternoon dress to me, suitable for having ones 5 o’clock tea :-)

There are the Black Butterfly Choker and the Afternoon Tea Bag as accessory for the dress.

The basis for this dress was the Simplicity pattern 1772.
But right from the start I wanted it to be a two-piece, because I wanted to be able to wear especially the skirt separately.
So I cut the pattern in the middle, lengthened the blouse-part and put a lace-ruffle onto it.
