This is my first time making the pattern Keepers Dolly Duds 1850s jacket and bonnet.
It came out beautifully!
I used wool pants from the thrift store for the jacket and bonnet. This is the third jacket that I have gotten from the same pair of pants.
In this context, they were giving me real Jane Eyre vibes.
I decided to leave the ruching off the outside of the bonnet because of the Jane Eyre vibes.
What I wanted to make was a nice but plain jacket and bonnet that could be used with a variety of dresses.
I used snaps instead of making buttonholes. The nice thing was that if I had made a buttonhole and messed it up, I could have easily replaced the tab with the buttonhole on it instead of ruining the whole garment.
I am so happy that I have conquered this pattern! I won't hesitate to make it again.
