From sharing construction details from my antique clothing collection, funny anecdotes and insults from Victorian Ladies’ Magazines, to video essays on the history of the Witch Hat and Boobs, historic clothing reconstruction projects, and other forms of dress, clothing, and beauty related “experimental archeology” - I create content that, hopefully, makes dress and fashion history more accessible and enjoyable.
