Description “Cosette was not very timid by nature. There flowed in her veins some of the blood of the bohemian and the adventuress who runs barefoot. It will be remembered that she was more of a lark than a dove. There was a foundation of wildness and bravery in her”  – Les Misérables

At long last I can unveil my attempt at a brick!inspired interpretation of Cosette from Victor Hugo's Les Misérables. All I can say is making and wearing !830s fashion is an adventure in itself. There was so much planning and scrapping and crying and sewing.... and crying while sewing... but it was finally finished and while getting anywhere quickly was a struggle, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. 
However this being said, I did lose a significant amount of weight prior to Halloween and it didn't fit as well as it should have. Ooops?

You managed to make 1830s clothes, and also make 1830s clothes look *good*, both of which are pretty impressive!
