As some of you know, I like clothing inspired by historical fashions. Middle Ages, rococo and Victorian are particularly close to my heart. However, my sewing skillset has not yet reached the heights of actually making a garment from scratch. Instead, I upcycle stuff I find in thrift stores (so that if I mess up, at least it was inexpensive oopsie), by adding lace, trim etc. Here is my latest creation. It was a plain black dress, with buttons up-front, somewhat resembling a bathrobe. Some tailoring and ruffles changed it in to a much nicer dress.
