Lady Cavalier-Superhero Costume!

My latest commission was to create an ensemble for a [top secret!] [undercover!] [mystery?] SuperHero- from a character sketch! (I would include the sketches for you to see- but alas- They are indeed TOP SECRET!)

The mysterious Superhero will sport black tights and tall black boots under her jacket!

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.
