I’ve decided to draft my own bodice (and lining) patterns for this dress… read more about my 1830s indienne print day dress project

I’ve been wanting to make this dress for literally about 10 years… read more about my 1830s indienne print day dress project

This time, it’s some auction catalogs on ebay. One lot features paintings (lots of 17th century formal portraits and 19th century scenes of everday life), the other features jewelry (Victorian – Art Deco). Both would be great costuming resources!

I’ve added an Items for Sale page, where I’m going to offer various costume-related items. Items will vary, but currently include some vintage patterns (1940s-1970s) and fabric (if you’re thinking of making a Dickens dress this year, there’s a bunch of plaid taffeta!). At some point soon I’ll be listing one of my 1860’s ballgowns (once I take some better pictures and measure it).
