The one thing I wanted this dress to do was to work after the baby is here, so that means nursing. I needed front easy access!
I realized that a modest maxi dress was basically a Regency Era dress - think Jane Austin - Emma, Pride and Prejudice, etc...
So I found a book that documents some pieces from museums and gives you a graphed pattern, I had a pattern in my stash that had similar lines.
I started with one, switched to the other, combined the two, fidgeted and fussed. I made 6 different bodices, and 4 sleeves.
I think every time I look at it I find something I would do different or needs tweaked. I see why my Mom didn't like sewing for herself.

You are ver talented and brilliant to combine all those patterns/designs into what you came up with. And, to think ahead for nursing purposes...so clever.
