Description Recently I made an 18th Century gown loosely based on Catherine Earnshaw from Wuthering Heights (Although I'm completely out of character here, with the smiling ). The fabric has a print of viney and thorny plants on it, which reminded me of descriptions from Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, so I was inspired to make this dress. (Although later I realized the gown could also be a costume for Katrina Van Tassel (Sleepy Hallow) or Angelique Collins from Dark Shadows.) The pattern used is Simplicity 4092. I did change the sleeves - I made up my own pattern for that. I had fun making and wearing this dress! Can't wait to wear this for Halloween

Hi, you don't take commissions by any chance? I would also like to wear a Katrina Van Tassel costume for Halloween but I have found nothing so far!

Thank you! When do you finish school? I finished school a few months ago I'm just waiting to finish my thesis. If I don't post the pictures of the wedding directly to DA I'll make sure to write you a note with a link to the pictures.

I don't think I'll go back to studying again the last few years of school I found drained me a lot. Thank you Miss! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend!

It sounds best to take a break from studying then, since you found the last few years to be draining. Enjoy your time off from school

Thanks, and I hope you had a wonderful weekend too!
