About the project
I created this blog simply to document the process of my making a whole 18th century outfit – complete with stays, pocket hoops, petticoat, stomacher and stuff. I have the ambition to do at least 80-90% by hand and in as time typical materials as possible.
I might also feuture tips, tricks, how-to’s and other related things I’ve found in my search for inspiration.
