This is a photo diary of my costuming "travels"; where I've learned and struggled to make historical costumes for myself. They're not always pretty, but always fun, most of the time. And I want to share with others what I learn along the way. **You can find me on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/Time-Traveling-in-Costume-640703499399817/ or have my posts delivered to your email by signing up at the lower part of the right column.**



About Me

My photo
HI, my name is Val. I'm a member of Costumer's Guild West in Los Angeles, Dean of 2018 & 2024 Costume College; Past President of the San Diego Costume Guild, member of Orange County Costume Guild, and a representative of the San Diego History Center. I also put on historical fashion shows for various groups. I make my own historical costumes but don't sell any unless I get tired of one.The eras I've made so far are 1770 up to 1918. My favorite is the 1880s bustle.

Colored Pencil photo of my red/black bustle gown

In lieu of anything substantial to post about right now, since I'm in the middle of 4 projects, I wanted to post this photo that was taken of me at the recent Biltmore Winter Tea I went to. The photographer posted it, saying it was slightly out of focus, so she photoshopped it.


What I also like is that it looks like an older photo but with the two different eras of dress being together.
