Well, I did, and finally decided it was time to sew a custom DIY dress form

From the widely acclaimed author of Waiting for Eden : a stirring, timely new novel that unfolds over the course of a single day in Istanbul: the story of an American woman attempting to leave behind her life in Turkeyto leave without her husband

The pattern for this gown is based on portraits from the era and cutting styles seen in the Herjolfnes dresses

Jeanette also helped facilitate the tweaks we made to the back (so buttons ran all the way down rather than having the cut out from the original design) and was full of helpful advice about shoes, cardigans and underwear
