Costume Stuff: Suffragettes

Next project, a suffragette outfit for my mom and a suffragette dress for Vee! Whee! One of my DFWCG friends is lending me an outfit she made for herself while she was preggo, so I personally am set (thanks TONS, jenthompson!).

I have the *perfect* dress pattern for my little V, and it looks super easy, too. I got it way back when guen_the_cat told me about a site that had an awesome library of patterns open to the public for a limited time:



My mom's is going to be simple thrift store stuff, I think, which will be easy enough to put together. And what we can't find, I'll see what I can throw together quickly. I already have a big tan felt hat she can wear, too.

Also, does anyone have any idea what color the sashes were that these women were wearing?
