Classic Costume

09/07/2026

I made this experimental renaissance style dress from stray fabrics that just matched so perfectly, silk skirt and plum velvet. Inspired by costumes, the supportive bodice is extremely low cut and laces tight at the back to give plenty of oomph! Now too big for me. You need something underneath for modesty and hygiene of course. I was never 100% happy with the sleeves, but they could be adjusted. Selling only the dress and sleeves, not all the extras it is displayed with. Underbust 34 inches, bust38 but could go larger. Skirt measures 42 inches. So quite short, but could be worn over an underskirt. Message for questions , more pics etc £100 uk shipping only.

Facebook just reminded me of this 🥲- 9 years ago apparently - but its still a constant battle to keep the chaos at bay. Clearing out a couple of Regency dresses later in the week as well ....

Making some space at Costume Towers today and have decided it is time for this one to find a new home . Wool felt base, vintage ostrich plume, flowers, lace,ribbons and fabrics on a black and brown theme. I made this for the Bath promenade last year but in the end did not get to wear it. I am not sure about sizing or posting but we can chat about that, message me if interested.

Love the serviceable, practical look of this 100% linen with deep V neck tie front. It’s 100% bust 38 inches or less, skirt is 42inches from the regency waist to hem, and the mannequin is set at 5 ft 5 inches. Available to buy for £250 inc shipping, UK only.

Two Both same make, same model, same light fitting, but requiring DIFFERENT sizes of LED bulbs. Old incandescent bulb works in both. This is going to be fun 😬

Savage indeed - some laughs, some scenes I couldn’t bear to watch - trust no mice were harmed. Enjoyed the costumes and Claire Foy is always a joy to see😬🤓

A wildly inappropriate fabric for a Regencydress dress … I love it, , but what do you think?? would you wear it? I’m tempted 🤓.
