My precious daughter! I went to @sprkontti thrift My precious daughter! I went to @sprkontti thrift store today and immediately found both the straw hat and the white dress. They make a wonderful Edwardian-inspired outfit for S, even though the dress is probably from the 1980s. #thriftstorefinds #edwardianinspired #historybounding #kirpparilöytöjä #historiallinentyyli #portraitphotography #olkihattu #kesämekko
So, I made an 1890s inspired hat. What do you thin So, I made an 1890s inspired hat. What do you think? I’m not really sure whether it suits me. It adds a lot of height to my already longish face. But I think it is still super cute and it may look right with a proper costume. Anyway, it’s the third hat I ever made and the best this far. I was happy that I could stay within the green and white colour palette. #millinery #hatmaking #1890s #1890sfashion #victorianfashion #hat #historicalfashion #victorianhat #historicalsewing #sew #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #sewcialist #ompelu #hatuntekoa #hatuttaako #kukkahattutäti #ompeluelämää #historycostume #historybounding #1800-luku
I made a matching Edwardian silk corset cover for I made a matching Edwardian silk corset cover for my Victorian petticoat. Well, I know that it says "Victorian" on the other and "Edwardian" here but my favourite time-period is just around 1901 where the Victorian period ends and the Edwardian period begins. I wanted a ruffled corset cover to achieve the fashionable Edwardian pigeon breast look and (Woah!) there are ruffles a plenty! Check out my YouTube video on my channel and/or my blog post for more info! Oh, and the pattern is by Truly Victorian. #trulyvictorianpatterns #edwardianfashion #corsetcover #upcyclingcurtains #historybounding #historicalstyle #historicalunderwear #petticoat #silkunderwear #edwardianstyle #edwardianunderwear #sew #sewfun #sewcialist #sewistsofinstagram #ompelu #ompeluelämää #historiallinenompelu #edwardiaaninen #viktoriaaninen #ruffles #röyhelöt #lace #pitsi
