My recently sewn 1920s wear at the larp Miskatonic University by Chaos League with Reverie Studios. I also made the retro pennant to put on my door. Gaines was my character’s name. They were reworn at a larp playtest. I also made a new hat from Wearing History’s 1930s Sporty Toppers pattern.

I finished this 80s does 20s dress. I did a handkerchief skirt overlay. It isn’t so visible in this busy fabric but it makes it move.
I might add some trim or something but pretty happy with it as is.
