I did this project 2 years ago since I read the book, watched the movie and instantly fell in love with the era, so I made Scarlett's Barbecue Dress from the movie. It look about two months working on it on and off, but I did finish it. It was my first official project so it isn't great, but I was proud at that point in time.
Here are some photographs of the project put together, don't mind the bad quality. I had a bad camera two years ago. I made almost every layer of this extravagant dress. I made the corset, chemise, pantaloons, petticoat, and main bodice, belt, and skirt of the dress. I found a floppy hat which I just put hunter green velvet hot glued on.
Pantaloons: grey stretch fabric with white lace
Chemise: white silk fabric with cotton straps
Corset: White cotton fabric, steel boning, white lace trim
Corset and Chemise back
Bum Roll: White cotton fabric, stuffed animal stuffing/batting
Hoop Skirt: Bought 6 tier
Petticoats (3): White Cotton Fabric
Final Project Result!!!! My brother is a civil war soldier next to me
I was so happy with the result, took all summer of 2013, but was definitely worth it. Everyone loved it while trick or treating and walking around in school.
