I seemed to have accidentally answered an ask personally. Someone requested that I post photos of my finished Narnia dress, so here it is!

This is my recreation of Susan’s Archery Dress from the first Narnia film! It is faithfully reproduced, except I excluded the slits on the upper arm and decided I preferred a simpler and cleaner bound edge on the cuffs rather than more embroidery. It is made out of the most scrumptous mid-weight linen and the pattern is drafted by myself. Entirely hand sewn with flat-felled seams, hand-bound eyelets, and hand embroidery, it took me about a year to complete (although I wasn’t as frequent of a sewer then as I am now). Enjoy! :)

You can see the bound cuff here:

A detail of the embroidery!

And just for fun, a picture of the dress in action as I do what I do best:

I can also put up more photos of the Éowyn surcoat that I made, which you see my friend Stephanie wearing in the above photos. (And the beautiful woman sitting next to me in a darker green dress is my darling mother!) Should I post those next?
