Nell

Nell is the perfect little cardi to wear over a pretty Summer dress. Worked from the bottom up, Nell starts with a dramatic lace border, topped in an eyelet row through which to thread a lightweight ribbon at the front. The elbow length sleeves have the same lacy border and ribbon trim to complement the body.

Violet

And Heather tell us, "I couldn’t design a collection based on Victorian undies without my version of a corset!" And Violet fits this bill perfectly with its snap front closure as well as its laced up back.

Frieda

Frieda is a lightweight and dreamily soft scarf which can also be worn as a shawl. The simple to remember lace pattern adds just enough detail to keep the knitting interesting and the layered ruffles and ribbon bows add a romantically girly touch.

Hattie

And Hattie is a sexy dress worked in the round from the bottom up that was inspired by a Victorian era nightgown. Bands of lace give the fabric textural interest while delicate satin ribbons are threaded through eyelets and tied into pretty bows which along with lace shoulder straps and button placket finish this piece with just the right amount of sweet girlishness.

Agnes

Inspired by Victorian era underskirts Agnes is worked from the top down. Cables border a ribbed section at the front, and layers of flirty, ruffles at the back to give a bustle effect. Designed to be worn with the matching Violet corset, Agnes looks fabulous dressed up or down, especially if you have a wiggle in your walk.

Agnes

Flora

Flora is a double V-neck dress worked bottom up and in the round. The large scale lace trim at the bottom edge is also inspired by Victorian era undergarments.
