Picked up a really fab Victorian dress embellishment today- among other goodies heading for the shop. I can’t decide whether to use this or sell it 😎 will have to see if inspiration strikes. #victorianfashion #victoriandress #frenchjet #jetblackglass #whitbyjet

Gorgeous piece of soft-focus upholstery fabric in the shop just time for spring - bring it on!

Teeny tiny silk taffeta regency overdress available, DM me for info. This was a test of a Norah Waugh drafted pattern, the original must have been pretty small, as often happens - survival bias - but could work to your advantage if you are a petite size.

Just rescued this little beauty, rather yellowed from storage and I think was originally ecru anyway- to wash or not to wash????

Having fabulous fun this afternoon 😍. #plymouthmerchantshouse #oldesthouseinplymouth #renaissancedress #borgiastyle #historicalfashion #renaissancegown

In the workshop this week 😍. #regencygown #regencyballgown #regencyvelvet

And here’s what happened when I was playing about with the trim. 🤔🧐

Taking advantage of the sunshine 🤓 Two theatrical grand pannier petticoats fresh out of the washing machine and coming soon to the shop after a little tidying. #grandpanier #pannierpetticoat #18thcenturyfashion #18thcenturyclothing #18thcenturyunderpinnings #18thcenturyskirtsupports #18thcenturycostuming
