Thanks to everyone who liked this - you're very sweet Happy In answer to Michele C the patterns I mashed up were as follows:

Laughing Moon 100
http://www.habithat.co.uk/popup_image.php/pID/7882
for the corset but without a front opening, just the lacing in the back.

Simplicity 3809
http://www.habithat.co.uk/popup_image.php/pID/9246
for the underskirt but with extra layers of fabric added

and for the coat/overdress
Butterick 3640
http://www.ecrater.co.uk/p/6013934/butterick-sewing-pattern-3640-misses-size-6-8-10

Everything was adapted in some way for example because the corset needed to show I had to miss off the whole front of the overdress and then it fastens to the front of the corset with huge hook and eyes to hold it in place.

Just have fun with it and the dying was very hit and miss -good job it was meant to look raggedy!!!!

I have thouoght about trying this myself and was wondering where you found the pattern for the dress itself. Love your use of draperys, throws and table cloth for all the patterns.

Wow great job! I think she should dirty/gorey up her makeup more if she wants to look more like her tho.

I fucking swear, that is really johnny depp! I cant believe how much he looks like him. Holy crap. ...does he sound like him too? If so, thats really scary. haha.
