Oh so sweet! I just love it! I have some Amish clothes/dresses/aprons/and prayer caps that I wear while Im at my cabin. Of course the kids think I've lost my mind rofl
Do you make these yourself? A friend of mine is in re-enactments and makes all the costumes and uniforms for her husband and herself. It is so cool. I love your outfit.

That is so cute. LOve the color You are very pretty. Love your hair too. I wear my skirts like that I have to have it right above the ankles I have been told I am old fashioned; but I don't care I would rather be old fashioned than having every thing shown ( I don't have a size 10 anyways.)ha Love the picture you took pinkroses
Julie you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! What an incredible skirt! I just love it... I hope you are not just saving it for costume wear.. It is so fabulous for everyday wear to my mind! Warmly, Julia Hayes
Thanks everyone! The original purpose was as a costume for a function at school. I have never been more comfortable though than I was on the day I wore that. My husband and the kids at school will think I am crazy but I plan to wear it at least once a month. I already told my husband I was wearing it for thanksgiving and his reply was "I figured!" That really made me laugh!
I actually bought the skirt on ebay from this seller http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZyoung8777 She has some really great stuff. I also bought a flannel petticoat. I had to take both up about 7 inches cause I am so short but it wasn't a problem.
My mother in law actually made the bonnette a long time ago and had it in her closet.
