And now for the culmination of #AmericanGirlDoll Rachel's journey to dress as a colonial girl, the Young Martha Washington dress from pattern by Thimbles and Acorns on #PixieFaire.
I started with the adjustable pannier petticoat in a cotton print. The petticoat is rated confident beginner. On each side of the petticoat is an opening for accessing the hidden pockets inside the panniers.
I also cut the Stomacher out using the same cotton print. It went together simply and has six snaps sewn to it so that it could fasten to the inner bodice.
And the most complicated for the finale. The Robe Battante pattern is rated intermediate. It features a series of pleats extending down the back and hangs open in the front to expose the stomacher and petticoat. The pattern features pleating under the sleeves which hides the side seam pocket access.
