Just finished my 1890s outfit after ~a year of work - all of the layers are hand knit or sewn!

About a year ago I found an antique knitting book that had instructions for knitting nearly all undergarments for the 1890s. I decided to see if I could make them all, and once I was done knitting them I decided to sew myself a walking suit to go on top, just because! I'm finally finished, and I'm now thinking I'll make a few extra knitted outer layers too!

edit: I couldn't fit it in the title, but I hand knit everything and machine-sewed the rest!

I thought this was Elizabeth Comstock cosplay for a second. Guess you’re shearing for the light house to go to Columbia? This is awesome though.
