The Victorian Needle

   Many of the most beautiful period costumes are used as inspiration for creating life-like, and true-to-form, replica pieces such as this lovely fringed civil war dress.

    I keep these in my personal collection for pattern making and to make sure that I am doing work that is near as possible to the originals and period correct.
