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. View all posts by Susan
As an author of Regency romances and presently in the process of writing an American historical, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your photos and descriptions of early nineteenth century dress. Because I appreciate authenticity not only in my characters’ actions but also in dress, your clothing descriptions are inspirational. Thank you. http://www.elaineviolette.com
