I chose this character cos i liked her eye patch, also i needed to wear the costume in the middle of Australian summer and i need a maid outfit to wear in January.
I'm not 100% happy with it, but i like the over-all look.
I haven't decided if i'm going to make the dress shorter - as it's currently much longer than the character's.
The gloves were a pain. I made a pair from a bought pattern but wasn't happy with them. I've found the best result seems to come from tracing your hand, sewing the fabric together, then cutting it out and turning right side in.
It's a pitty colours still show through the appron, i even used really thick white fabric.
I'm quite pleased with the dress as it's the first time I've drafted a whole pattern from scratch.
