A seaside bustle gown

A Bird on my head and a little umbrella in my hand. That’s all I need to have a lovley time in Opatija in croatia or go to a picnic in Bad Ischl.
The afternoon bustle
1875
I saw a fashion plate from Le moniteur de la mode, fell in love and made the dress in under two weeks while going to school full time. (And covered over 40 buttins with fabric)
But I think it turned out rather lovley! I wore it for a visit to Demel, a very famous coffee house in vienna and also for a historical steam train adventure in germany!
