Two months ago I bought burgundy red taffeta with a black barock flock print. Instead of making another victorian gown, I am going to make a fishtail skirt, overskirt and shrug. I made these in black & white stripes (see dress diary here) and I really liked the combination.

Fabric:

Patterns used:

Burda 8199 (only made the underskirt)

Butterick 4926

TV303

I didn't take any pictures of the sewing process, but as this outfit is pretty much the same as the black&white striped one I made earlier this year, you can see pictures of the sewing process here.

Here's the finished shrug. I used a beaded trim:

Sleeve detail:

Here's the fishtail skirt with the shrug:
