Introducing our Late Edwardian Era Corset!

We are excited to announce our new corset design! Introducing our Late Edwardian/Teens Era Corset! Our Late Edwardian/Teens Era corset is based on original corsets from this period and is made of high quality corset coutil and luxuriously soft/high thread…

I am the lead designer and founder of Maggie May Clothing! Since childhood, I have been fascinated with folklife, history, and the “old ways of doing things.” When I was six years, my mother, Maggie May, made me my first historical costume (a Holly Hobby calico dress with matching sunbonnet)! As I grew older, I realized by donning the clothing of the past, I could obtain a deeper understanding of those who came before us. This fascination has followed me through life. I am now a formally trained historian and artist. I rely on my understanding of the past coupled with creative problem solving skills to design, drape, and create historical garments. When I am not working in my studio, I am tending my 12 acre hobby farm, playing dress up with my own children, or kayaking in the mountains.
