Welcome!

Welcome to my wee costuming home! Here you will find my attempts at recreating historical fashions. I believe that the study and recreation of historical fashions is liberating and gloriously inspiring - why should we be limited to what stores choose to carry today when it comes time to pick our clothing? Why should our personal style be limited by the few clothing designers who copy each other and create cookie-cutter looks?

Historical clothing is often beautiful, feminine and very practical. When I put on a historic gown I instantly feel more ladylike and my husband finds me much more attractive in historic styles than modern ones. Let neatness, sensibility and loveliness be the qualities of our clothing. Whether you prefer the cute, flirty styles of the 1940's, the sweet puffed and gathered styles of the 1830's, the slender, simple grace of the 1800's or the smart tailored apparel of the 1870's, it can be certain that you will find a style that you love and love to wear somewhere in history. Let us return to the styles of our foremothers, be proud of our feminity and wear clothing that reflects the modesty, elegance and grace of a Romantic Woman!
