Daily Historical Dress Isn’t What You Think

Historical dress is not always about extravagance, opulence, and formality as is frequently seen in the Rococo period. I am more fascinated by the practicality of historical fashion and how it can be incorporated into everyday, contemporary life.

Wearing historical clothing daily now for a few years, I have found that sporting this form of archaic attire so frequently is not as one might expect.

All of the garments I sew for myself are 100% hand stitched, and I don’t even own an electric sewing machine!

I find hand sewing to be an incredibly therapeutic and calming practice. Through this medium, I’m able to recreate historical garments using traditional methods, that I can then wear out and about in my day-to-day life.
