Historical Projects

I have a passionate interest in dress history and original practice and use historical costuming as both a tool to better understand the past and to indulge a love of wearing historical clothes. I believe we can learn an infinite amount from using the same construction methods that were used in the past, a form of experimental archeology, as it were.

In this gallery you will find images of some of the purely historical garments I have created over the years.
