Dress sketches

I'm sketching some dresses for some illustrations I have in mind.

(This is from my sketchbook so please excuse the scanner fog!)

I had a very particular look in mind - something loose and summery and a bit quaint. Like something a girl in a Carl Larsson painting would wear. 

I looked to some of my Flickr favorites for inspiration, and  it didn't disappoint.(Of course I won't be directly copying the photographs for the final drawing, but this was just to get a sense for how the clothes should be constructed) I would be quite happy with any of these dresess in my wardrobe!
