I had coffee this morning after a good nights sleep at the end of a productive day, so I’m on a roll!!! Anyway, I picked a couple of different images for today’s theme. The first two being #underpinnings No matter what time period you decide to costume in, it’s always important to have the correct underpinnings to give you the silhouette (the shape, ah! Get it!) that was fashionable during that time period. So the first up is a custom set of #hippanniers for an 18th century gown (I have yet to start working on the #robealafrancaise that it is to be worn with) that I won from @hannah_alice_costumes . The second are my #regencyera stays made by @paupers.modiste . | the next two shapes are circles. My black #bergérehat, and my diy macaroon pattern weights. | last two are from when I decided to make a #chemiseàlareine to wear to a friends party. At first I was kind of intimidated when looking for a pattern, but then I came along the tutorial by @freshfrippery , and realized that it was basically three large rectangles sewn together into a tube basically, with shoulder straps and sleeves! | #historicalcostuming #historicalcostumer #costumersofcolor #blackwomensew #blackwomenstitch
