The joys of tiny rolled hems, doing some hand sewing for my latest 18th century project. This is the smallest one I've ever made, focusing on slow sewing. . . . . . . #HistoricalGarments #Handsewing #SewingInspiration #SlowFashion #RolledHem #18thCenturyFashion #HistoricalCostuming #Linen #1700s #SewingProject https://www.instagram.com/p/CmyIx3JOAzh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@anacarolinaraica looks stunning in her gown in the halls of Versailles. Our bespoke pannier and petticoat are helping to create that exaggerated silhouette. #customgown #customcostumes #customcostume #18thcenturyfashion #18thcenturycostume #historicalfashion #historicalcostume #versailles (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnDGV2ySgT-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
The Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil, Vicomte Sébastien de Valmont and Cécile de Volanges, respectively portrayed by Glenn Close, John Malkovich and Uma Therman, in the 1988 period drama, Dangerous Liaisons. Dangerous Liaisons is one my favourite movies. The scandalous and salacious story line, the elaborate and decadent costumes, the many grand French chateaux used in the filming, all combine to bring this masterpiece brilliantly to life. #dangerousliaisons #lesliaisonsdangereuses #stephenfrears #1988 #glennclose #johnmalkovich #umathurman #periodfilm #perioddrama #costume #18thcentury #18thcenturyfashion #18thcenturyfrance #royalcourt #frenchroyalcourt #drama #still #movies #film #romanticdrama #chateau #chateaux #interiors #decor #design #decoration #interior #interiordecor #interiordecoration #interiordecoration #interiordecorator (at France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVFMZbIkm-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I’ve assumed my true form! At King Richard’s Faire with my friends, having managed to futz a halfway decent “Renaissance” ensemble out of my 18th century kit, my old Ophelia flower crown and some ribbon courtesy of my mother-in-law. It was the best I could do and I felt like a lovely village maiden. I wish I could’ve gone full Marguerite du Carrouges in The Last Duel, but no one there is judging for historical accuracy, and those who are probably aren’t having any fun. #kingrichardsfaire #renaissancefaire #renaissancefestival #renaissance #18thcenturygown #maiden #medieval #flowercrown #renaissancefair #historicaldress #historicalcostume #historicalcostuming #medievalcostume #18thcenturyfashion https://www.instagram.com/p/CkCOsrBMZzA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Late baroque ensamble, the fastest I can make by adjusting some details on an old theatrical one 🎭 with satin ribbon and handmade lace by my grandmother (Bless her soul) for the Versailles party by @lanuitdesroisvenezia last Carnival. 🎉 Hair and makeup by me, photo by my dear Enrico ♥️ 👑👑👑 I’m sorry for not posting as much in these days but I’m taking care of my boyfriend because of an horrible peritonitis and I go in and out the hospital here in Venice..I hope every day he can come home 🤞🏻 #carnivalcostumes #carnival #veneziagram #costume #historical #baroque #18thcenturyfashion #18thcenturycostume #baroquestyle #costumemaking #periodcostume #fashionhistory #18thcentury #rococo #dressmaking #historicaldress #rocococostume #robealafrancaise #baroquehair #18thcenturydress #livinghistory #reenactment #italianboy #italianactor #historicalcostume #historicalcostuming #historicalvenice #cicisbeo #lanuitdesroisvenezia (presso Palazzo Pesaro Papafava) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpgDLRJgVag/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
What a great name for a fashion exhibition. This online exhibition looks at the post-revolutionary period and the early 19th century as Americans tried to figure out what a citizen if this new republic should wear. Seems to me a good one to enjoy as the 4th of July is upon us.
