Costume Con, Costume Con, oh how I love thee... I am still pretty much in awe of everyone I got to meet at Costume Con this weekend and I'm so excited to do it all again. I got through the Masquerade despite a raging case of nerves and came away with Journeyman Best in Class: Documentation, Journeyman Best in Class: Patterning and Construction, and Journeyman Best in Class: Burlesque Presentation(I stripped; I can't wait to see the video!). Check out pictures in my yahoo!photos. Oh and, as promised, my One Day Civil War Dress.

Once again, check out the 18th Century diary cuz stuff's been happening. Also, check out my shoe! Also, I finished that Civil War dress in record time and will be posting some pictures on wednesday after the presentation. Wooha!

Well, the 18th Century diary is wending its way towards completion. Minor finishing and quilting remain to be done but I am now confident I will have a finished product for the Historical Masquerade.

Updated the 18th Century diary with pics of my so close to being finished underpinnings. Meanwhile, I've also measured the hem for the gown and cut out what will soon become my (hopefully) quilted petticoat.

Added the diaries and gallery pages. I also drafted the pattern for the gown and petticoat of my robe a l'anglaise. Hopefully, that diary will be up and going by tomorrow afternoon.

Welcome to The Gilded Garb! At long last, I have a home for my costuming endeavors which currently include: German Renaissance, Italian Renaissance, 18th Century-Georgian, and Regency ensembles. As I am currently in a mad rush to make something spectacular for Costume Con 23, you can expect frequent updates. Stay tuned!
