It seems like ages since I did any costuming, and summer isn't exactly my favorite season to be layering on corsets and petticoats, but...the time has come for some Edwardian adventure wear! I think I'll start with a simple skirt and an ivory shirtwaist, luckily I already have an Edwardian corset. Now I just have to draft some patterns and go fabric shopping :) Those of you costumers out there, what are you working on this summer? (See more images that are inspiring me for this costume on my costuming Pinterest board here)
