Sometimes Less Is More - Recreating an Edwardian Hip Pad

Slowly but surely, I’m making progress on the Snow Queen gown by recreating an Edwardian hip pad based on a 1904 patent. In this process, achieving the right shape was important both aesthetically and for fit, which required some personal adjustments to match my body.

Materials Used:
- Random Cotton Fabric
- No. 30 Crochet Yarn
- 0.75 mm Crochet Hook
- Turquoise Gütermann Silk Sewing Thread
- White Gütermann Cotton Sewing Thread
