Lady Edith è la sorella di mezzo. Non particolarmente carina, non ha nulla della forza di carattere della sorella minore, Lady Sybil, e vive piena di risentimento nei confronti della maggiore, Lady Mary, bella e sicura di sè. Soprattutto nella prima serie è guerra aperta fra le due sorelle. In questo episodio Edith sta sperimentando sulla sua pelle la vendetta di Mary (e devo ammettere che se lo merita).
I started with Lady Edith's dress, as it was the easiest of them all. I chose the white one she wore as she attended the garden party closing serie 1.
Lady Edith is the middle sister. She's not particularly pretty, she's got nothing of the strong mind of Lady Sybil (the youngest) and she lives full of resentment against the oldest one, Lady Mary, beautiful and very self-conscious. In the first serie more than in the others it's an open war between the two sisters. Here, in this episode, she's experimenting how cruel can be Mary's revenge (and I have to say she deserves it).
Siamo nel 1914 e la puntata (insieme alla serie) si chiude appunto con l'annuncio che la Gran Bretagna è in guerra con la Germania.
We're in 1914 and the episode (as well as the first serie) closes announcing that Great Britain is at war with Germany.
Lady Edith - Garden Party Dress |
Cintura sottile in raso rosa, cappello di paglia modello che anticipa la cloche degli anni '20, con decorazione di rose e guanti da giorno di pizzo bianco. Purtroppo non ci sono molte immagini dell'abito. Dovete accontentarvi di queste.
Lady Edith - Garden Party Dress |
A thin pink satin belt, a straw hat anticipating the '20s'cloche decorated with a sash and roses and daytime gloves in white lace.
Unfortunately there aren't many pictures of the dress, you'll have to do with these ones.

First semi-final test: the measure is all right and the total length is fine too. I feel very proud.

Adding the final touches |
I added the hair (maybe a bit too orange but not as fluo as it appears in the picture... the perfect reddish-blonde shade has been really difficult to find), the hat decorated with a sash and flowers, the necklace and the lace short gloves.
