It's fascinating that the Guild was formed to try to protect original fashion designs. Unfortunately, when they lost their Supreme Court appeal, they paved the way for fast fashion knock offs. Amazing how these things echo through the years. Your collection is wonderful. Well done, you. Thank you for sharing! Those shoes are amazing! _Side Question_ - Our church just came into possession of two vestments/copes from the early 1900's/late 20's. The good news is they were stored in a trunk for a few decades. The bad news is they were just tossed into that trunk; everywhere there was a fold is now in need of stabilization, plus the normal wear and tare. Our priest wants to bring them back into circulation. Right now I'm hunting for the best historical practice methods to preserve these pieces so they can be used for another 100 years. Do you know of any resources (I'm asking everyone on the CosTube)? I realize this is outside the wheel-house of what you're studying, but you never know who knows who in this green earth. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
So glad I found your channel! I’m a new sewist and quickly realized the world of fabric is DAUNTING to say the least but such a fantastical journey!
So glad you're enjoying it! And yes, there's definitely enough to learn in sewing and fashion to keep us all occupied for a lifetime!
Your collection is fascinating! And those shoes are absolute delightful!
Thank you so much! And aren't they cool?? I bought those from a collector in Iowa several years ago.
so interesting!! and you're so pretty too!
