Bits and Bobs
* I always love looking at all the pretty red carpet frocks during Oscar season, in fact that's my favorite part of the Academy Awards! I found Costumerism's entry on making Lupita Nyong’o's 2015 Oscar dress fascinating.
* I've always loved all those Victorian royal and military pins. Madame Modiste has a great blog entry with links for supplies and tutorials for making your own.
* Like many ladies I love shoes, especially historical ones, so I was excited to see the post The School of Historical Dress had on a new historical shoe book - Footwear: Shoes and Boots from the Hopkins Collection.
*Understructure is so important to achieving most historical silhouettes. Historical Sewing has a great, detailed article about which fabrics to use for most basic of historical undergarments- the petticoat.
* And speaking of underwear, Festive Attyre has a nice write up of the making up of the Laughing Moon Regency chemise pattern. I always love to read about other costumer's with historical patterns, it helps me figure out which ones to buy and what I might need to alter.
* Patterns are something I never seem to have enough of. I can put the breaks on fabric but patterns sold alone or in a book are something I can't resist. So I am really looking forward to At the Sign of the Golden Scissors new 18th Century gown pattern, especially since I love the "zone" front style so much.
