Company.

Wedding Dress alteration and build. Two vintage dresses from costume stock were altered and attached together with the addition of new lace sleeves, attached petticoat, and various trims. 

Blood Wedding

Two-piece blouse and skirt wedding dress build. A dress in stock was taken apart to create the skirt with train. Blouse was built from custom Sloper with hand sewn smocking detail. 

Wtich wig- created by venting braided pieces of twine and mop head fibers into a large grid wig cap. 

The Revolutionists

Scale project from Janet Arnold book archives. 

Dress was scaled up to exact size, and re-created in a changable silk fabric. Every detail was hand sewn to pay homage to the dress makers of the past who didn't use machinery to construct gowns. The back is Watteau pleated. The gown itself rests on a pair of bucket panniers. 

Wig: created on a wire frame, skinned with quilters batting, and handsewn decorative trim.
