Edwardian Lovelies: 1914

Downton Abbey is coming to the US in just over a month! Woot! I have some Edwardian sewing planned for this winter and I'm super pumped! While I wait to have enough time to actually get working on my lovelies (and we all wait for Season 3!), let's enjoy some pretties from 1914.


The more I learn about this period, the more I realized that they were obsessed with layering! I adore the huge ruffles on the yellow dress! Edith wears such a tiered dress in season 2.


Bows, collars, cuffs, layers, ruffles, lace-if there's a trim you love, this period did it!

Love love love the polka dot dress!


What gorgeous hats! And the draping on the middle skirt! *swoon*
