Making of the quintessential little white muslin Regency dress. Plus chatting about body image and historical costuming.
The Valentine’s Day Party was hosted by Laura of Decore to Adore (http://decortoadore.net/). Check out her posts on the party here: https://decortoadore.net/2020/02/page/2
Photos of my dress were also taken by Laura. Thanks Laura!
