I just came across a nice online exhibition on wedding dress at the Missouri Historical Society: unCommon Threads: Stories of Missouri Brides.
In other news, I WISH I WERE SEWING… but I’m moving, which is a very large undertaking. The bad news? All my sewing stuff has been packed up for a while and won’t come out until about Costume College (sniff!). The good news? I’m going to get a REAL sewing room in the new place! Yay! I’ll try to keep things interesting around here in the meantime, but sadly I won’t be able to get back to any projects until early August.
I know that feeling… my fingers are itching to sew and draw and craft, but I can’t, because half my supplies are still in boxes, and the real emergency is making the house liveable… But it’ll be worth it in the end ! 🙂
Ooh! Those are lovely.
(I found a wedding dress exhibit, 1840 ish-1980, in… Amherst? two years ago? Oh, I can’t remember. They were nice, though, got plenty of pictures.)
It’s one of my goals in life to have a sewing room. How exciting. ^^
