Women’s mix and match

This blouse and skirt combination is part of an order headed to The Andrew Johnson Homeplace in Greenville, TN. The American civil war saw the beginning of mix and match style as most of the nation’s energy was dedicated to wartime efforts. This solid cotton blouse and bold print skirt combination was a staple of mid 19th century style.

About Susan

Hi! My name is Susan and I am a historian, seamstress, teacher, mother, and wife. My passion for history has manifested itself in the art of recreating clothing from different periods of time. Growing up in the American South, I am heavily schooled in the art of recreating clothing from the 19th century. After nearly a decade of immersing myself primarily in the Victorian period, I found the need to branch out and explore other periods of time. However, it is my connection with the American South and the clothing of rural America that continues to be the driving force behind my designs.
