iheartfaces Photography Challenge

I was looking through the blogs I follow and found this post on Aspire, so I thought I would enter as regularly as I can. The theme this week is Dramatic Black and White. Maybe not a very dramatic photo but I only found out about it at 8:30 and had to have it in by 9:00!

Here are a few dresses I made a while ago but have not put photos of on here yet.

My friend and I made this dress a while back. It is inspired by Jane Bennet's pink ball gown from P&P05.









Sorry there are no photos of the front of it, oops!


This one I made for myself copied from Margaret Hale's traveling dress from 'North and South'.
