Hat to Hem | Video Diary 1 - Parisian Bustle Gown @HattoHem | Uploaded May 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Switching things up a little bit. You get to see my face AND hear me talk!

Last month, I attended the Clockwork Festival at the National Watch and Clock Museum. A month before that event, I started on my entry for the costume contest. This video is all about my journey from "I don't have a plan" to finished gown! This one was a lot of fun and I'm glad I decided to try something a bit different!
