Late victorian servant's dress


Question Posted Monday January 14 2008, 11:20 pm

I am looking for a cheap costume for a play... Hopefully under $40. I want a late victorian era (about 1880-1900) dress that's rather plain. it's for a servant's costume in England... it can be a gown that I can add an apron on, or a blouse and skirt set. I'm having a lot of trouble finding something that fits all of my qualifications! If anyone can post a link or tell me a store that I can order from (that they KNOW carries what I'm looking for) that would be REALLY helpful! Oh, it's for The Secret Garden. Thanks in advance!

Why don't you make it? Simplicity has some great patterns that are very easy to follow. They are also easy to adapt to individual needs. Try these historical patterns: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
If you don't sew, there is probably someone involved in the play who does.
Another really great way to put a costume together is to search Goodwill or the Salvation Army. I spent a great deal of time in theater and those were some of my best resources.
