[…] The petticoat was entirely hand sewn (except for the ruffle hems) from silk Scalamandre curtains I bought off a Facebook destash group. I was finishing hand mounting the ruffle the night before I left for Costume College! […]

In reply to Sierra Marie. First, visit the Costume College website. You'll find LOADS of info for attending. Many people come in regular street clothes and only dress up for the few official events during the weekend. The Facebook group for Costume College is active and more questions and answers can be read and posted there. You are more than welcome!

In reply to aleta pardalis. I have a couple friends trying to get a new event going on the East Coast. Jeanette Murray of The Perfect Touch is one. You can contact her for more details. I'm also part of a Facebook group for this new group trying to get something planned. So you can reach out to them there.

In reply to Jennifer Rosbrugh. As far as i know there is nothing like this on the east coast. Something I've been talking to a few people about trying to fix.

I suggest looking up a local Victorian Society, mine is Victorian Society of Colorado. Maybe JASNA (Jane Austen Socty of No. America)? (I’m not familiar with JASNA but heard of it.) Or create your own local group, I’m in one of those, too; we have an annual “Swap Meet” with vendor tables, go to teas, have put on a few historical fashion shows, have occasional “workshops” which are informational. Whatever your local gals (and guys, don’t leave them out!) can offer to each other. Too much fun!
