Teen short sleeve dresses

I need a new dress for the summer weather so I decided to make a boat neckiline and double puffed sleeves. There isn't that much data for short sleeve dresses, so I decided to do the research myself. I spent hours of extensive research and pinned everything to Pinterest. This is my board for people who are interested to seeing some CDVs and original short sleeve "play dresses".

I decided to make this dress. This is a pic of an original period dress.
I used this material. The material is a little bit whiter than the pic.
The dress is almost finished. I just need to attach the bodice to the skirt and put the buttons on. After I finish the dress, I am going to make this dress in a raspberry sheer. This is also an original period dress.
I got to finish all of this before this Wednesday when I go to the 150th Battle of Gettysburg (BGA). See all of you guys there! :)
