First I must warn you – I’m really bad at getting the facts down on the pictures I take from the internet. When I see a pretty frock I just save it on my computer, and later have no idea where I found the picture or exactly what it is.

For this challenge I looked at many inspiration pictures to get an idea of what I wanted to make.

The beautiful madame de Pompadour in a wonderful flowery frock

This one is just delightful, and the dog is so cute

I really like the idea of a quilted petticoat in a different colour

This sketch from “Fashion close-up” is lovely and almost exactly what I had in mind for this project
