 I am often invited to events where period dress is required and I am ashamed to say, "I haven't a thing to wear". I want to come along to these events so badly. It is just not right that I do not make things for myself. No more excuses. Here the ideas, inspirations and plans for what I will make for myself in the near and distant future:

Also:

  • Full set of accurate 1860's undergarments custom order (partially complete)

  • Lots of period undies: chemises, petticoats and understructures

  • I hope to make some sample corsets soon. All different types, from Victorian & Edwardian reproductions to Fun Victorian inspired corsets.
And a few projects I am thinking about for later.......

  • Some fun sample corsets made with the wacky fabrics I have been collecting for years

  • I have got to protect & restore my antique 1910 and 1890s corset display forms eventually

  • I have got to find time to photograph, pattern and study about 50 antique corsets I have added to the collection over the last two years. I have fallen far behind on this project.
