Recently I took a workshop with Savvy Authors called 'From Farthingales to Flappers: What's in your Historical Heroine's Wardrobe', with Beth Daniels. It was all about finding the clothes for my historical heroines. Below is my shopping list from my first assignment. I had such a great time doing this workshop. NOTE: I had to make a guess at what things would cost.

Love the piccies Sandie. And fascinating how much was needed to look the part of duchess. While gorgeous looking outfits I love the flexibility of jeans and a tshirt! :)
