A little tardy, but here’s sharing one of my recently completed projects! This is the dress I made to wear to the gala at Costume College this year. For my gala dress I decided on a dress in…

This original design is inspired by the pockets women wore in the 17th and 18th century. Though originally hidden underneath one's skirts, this can be worn on top of skirts, dresses, or jeans. Rose appliqué on silk with cotton and metallic thread, glass beads, brass beads and cut crystal beads represent the House Tyrell sigil from Game Of Thrones. It measures at 11.5 inches tall x 9 inches wide, with a 72 inch circumference- end to end( ribbon tie.) Feel free to contact us through private…

Our split "false rumps" are based on historical depictions and descriptions, and create the perfect round, full silhouette for later 18th century gowns. We admit that they look a little goofy on their own without a skirt to weigh them down, so we have included a photo of a completed ensemble worn over the rumps. All skirt supports are made from the same high quality cotton sateen that we use for the fashion fabric on our corsets, so the undergarments coordinate. The pillows are stuffed with…

Our c.1790 Marie is designed to be worn with the “Round Gowns” of the late eighteenth-century. Adjustable with both center front and center back lacings, the corset shapes in under the bust. The length is cut to sit above the waist, controlling the torso through the ribcage. The boning is firm 5/16” steel. This corset has shoulder straps attached with adjustable front lacing. ****************************** Features include: Ø Side seam alteration point for an adjustable fit Ø Center front…

Necessary for the correct shape under gowns, jackets and all types of 18th century clothing.

My most recent and all consuming project is an 18th century dress for CMU's production of The Rivals, which opens at the beginning of October. The dress is already well on its way to being completed. Here are a few glimpses of the undergarments that I created for the costume. The undergarments will not be seen by the audience, but much care was put into their creation. Each component of the costume should be beautiful inside and out so that the actress feels that she is stepping back in…

Last month I had the inspiration to make something of my own design in an 18th century style. Like everyone else, I love the costumes from Outlander designed by Terry Dresbach, even though I've never watched the show. I particularly love Claire's outfit with the plaid skirt and embroidered stomacher, which I believe is from season 1. One of my favorite part of the Terry Dresbach's designs is the use of texture and all of the beautiful fabrics, so when I found a wonderful gray linen I knew I…
