2nd peplum for Jo

The 2nd peplum jacket  I am showing is the very last outfit Jo wears in the play.  It is spring time so soft feminine colors.  This is also when Mr. Bear proposes to her.  So I wanted it to have a hint of girlishness with eyelet and pink skirt.
The petticoat that is attached also has eyelet lace on it .  There is a wide  cream gross-grain bow that goes around the seam at the middle area of the skirt but not shown in photo as I had not attached it yet.  It is a simple detail but it finished the skirt nicely.  This skirt is real full in the lower back. But it is fitted in the hips showing style changes that where happening in fashion.


This jacket is also fully linen but in black sateen.  Once again I used antique mother of pearl buttons for the closures.
