In the lead up to CoSy, the costube community put together a list of questions to get to know the participants! I thought I'd combine my answers with a sewing video to mix things up a little. The dress you see me making is modern interpretation of an 18th century style, and is quite possibly my new favorite dress to take to photoshoots - SO swishy!
