And last of all--Edwardian.

I love this era--all the Gibson girl, Gilded Age, crazy hats wonderfulness.  So elegant and dramatic at the same time.

I know what I want to make from this era--but the problem is, I'm not sure if I mixing up the outfit correctly.  I want a shirtwaist (below) with a trumpet skirt and maybe a jacket.  But I also want a huge flouncy hat and that doesn't seem they go together.

These women are the closest I've found to what I'm picturing.  Miss Potter..♔... .Quanto mais atenção mais acertos nas decisões. . . ⊰º~Sol Holme~º⊰ º∮⊰ ═════════⊰∮.º

But I love the jackets on the two above pictures--but no flouncy hat.    :(

And oh my heck, these dresses and even more for the hats!!!

And they're actual dresses not skirt and top, so I don't know.

    My favourites!!! You already have a flouncy hat like these?? I'm so jealous. You had me at The lacy shirts with those skirts and a form fitting jacket. You'd look perfect in a costume from this era. Post a picture sometime of your flouncy hats! Hope you don't already have them packed. ;) Can't wait to see what you decide to do in the end. This is awesome. Thanks for letting me know.
