I figured since I had made so many of these dresses since that post ages ago, I'd put together a new post today with photos of each dress and the modifications I made to the basic pattern for each so you could get an even better idea of the THE CLOSET HISTORIAN: ADVENTURES IN FLY FRINGE Adventures in Fly Fringe. Fly fringe, a historical trim which eludes costumers today and was very common on 18th century gowns. Made from silk filament threads tied and knotted in little arrangements then the cut ends fluffed into tiny cute little puffs. Usually woven into or sewn/knotted onto another base trim (like above) fly fringe is THE CLOSET HISTORIAN: THE ONE HOUR 1920'S DRESS The pattern for the 1920's one hour dress is essentially a rectangle with extra extensions for the sleeves and hip fullness. The starting rectangle is the width of 1/2 of your bust measurement (so if your bust measurement is say 40", the rectangle will be 20" across). THE CLOSET HISTORIAN: WORKING ON A NEW PILLBOX HAT: AKA I tend to unravel the plastic from underneath and slide the whole thing off and then I peel the plastic off from inside the buckram. Trim down the nasty bits so that you have a nice smooth hat tip. Next cut out the stand of your hat crown by measuring around the edge of your block and adding a 1/2 inch. You can make the stand as short ortall
THE CLOSET HISTORIAN: VIDEO : SIDE HUSSELEN NO. 2 ORIGINS Live. •. Long time readers of this blog perhaps know the story of my various part time jobs, side quests, distractions, and side hustles over the last few years. I wanted to make a little timeline to recap where I have come from and outline where I would like to be going. It was important to me to mention how lucky I am to have such THE CLOSET HISTORIAN: HOW TO MAKE A BODICE BLOCK PATTERN Well everyone, first I would like to apologize, because I had no idea how few useful commercial patterns there were out right now! I just searched through Simplicity, Butterick, McCalls, and Vogue patterns and I barely found a handful of patterns I think would work well as a base for making your own base block patterns/slopers. THE CLOSET HISTORIAN: CATALOGING CATALOGS: MW SPRING There aren't many pages left in this particular catalog to show you all actually. Next up we have sportswear, then we'll go through the shoes and accessories, then finish this particular catalog with the fabrics on offer. I did just pick up another "new" catalog, this time a 1949/1950 fall/winter catalog, so the season just before this one! THE CLOSET HISTORIAN: REBEL SCUM THROUGH AND THROUGH Rebellion, Resistance, and R2D2 and BB8 are nearby too, I'm there! The local air museum (Wings Over the Rockies) held a Star Wars event this weekend and when given the chance to see some awesome Star Wars prop replicas, I take it.* HOME

FALLING BEHIND
What is is about February that makes me just constantly exhausted? Am I supposed to be hibernating during winter or something? These photos are from way back in November, but I only just flicked through them today. I do adore this suit, and it's the newest one in my collection. I was only able to purchase it thanks to a good friend spoting me a 20$ on the day, so thank you kind friend for helping me secure this baby! It's just so rare I come across something double breasted that fits me, and with a red pinstripe and square buttons? Come on, no way I was leaving this one behind! I'll be heading back to the shop where I bought this suit again for sure, this time better prepared for the wonders therein <3 Posted by Bianca Espositoat 8:45 PM

A LONG LONG TIME...NO SEE A long long time ago...I was consistent with posting here on thisblog.
But alas, the galaxy moves on, but not forever! That's right, like a questionable sequel I will return! I have been spending so much time cheating on you all with YouTube I know, but it's because things over here just have got to change. I want to feel free to use this space more like a journal again, put up some different posts, essays even maybe, or reviews, or just rambles. Of course I need to get back to taking outfit photos more often too, so hopefully more of those will be coming soon as well. Thank you all for hanging in there. Here is my latest very themed lookbook from over on my channel, I hope you enjoy it and have a Happynew Year!

A VINTAGE STYLE GOTHIC LOOKBOOK // HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I know I juuuust put up the Slytherin look book, but I still wanted to put up this other long planned short for Halloween! I created several outfits combining my favorite vintage styles into darker more gothic ensembles, and I even pulled out an old Edwardian gown of mine from my oft forgotten historic costuming closet :) I had originally planned to put up the Slytherin video earlier in the month which would have made these back to back look books less, well, back to back, but my schedule got all sorts of delayed this month with building my new set. Now I am ready for a serious breather, and to get back to some sewing next week instead! I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween! Posted by Bianca Espositoat 5:17 PM

VINTAGE SLYTHERIN STYLE LOOKBOOK! After several days of learning how to use power tools, spent covered in wood glue and paint, out having a rummage through the dried flowers and plants outside, and racing through a few last minute sewing projects just to torture myself a bit for good measure, the Slytherin house inspired lookbook is here! Oddly enough, I think I could have made even more moody black and green ensembles from the items in my closet, but I am saving a few for another video I will struggle to finish on time for Halloween ;) The set behind me here, the large green wall, is actually 3 theater "flats" which are false walls build for stage shows and the like. One by threes and plywood, and foam trim cut into wainscoting and glued in place for the full "mansion wall" effect. I pained it an absinthe/minty inspired green this first time, but this set is about to preform many many transformations over the next few months! I knew buying new colors of curtains for my usual set up every time I wanted a change was going to get expensive, so I figured better to invest that money into a real set I could change up dramatically with just a new lick of paint. Now of course I have to make a false floor to pair with it, as the rug solution isn't the best. Back to the home improvement place for some laminate wood flooring in darkest brown to match all future endeavors... I hope you enjoy these October ready more gothic inspired vintage looks, thank you for watching! Posted by Bianca Espositoat 11:20 AM

CAUGHT IN A WEB
Really this is more of a summer suit, being short sleeved and cotton twill and all, but it works just as well for warmer autumn days. Perfect for Halloween season really. Here I've paired it here with matching black and a beloved spider brooch from Luxulite. Truly I am overworking myself like never before, but hopefully if I can have courage (I don't like confrontation!) then I will soon be free of a long distracting responsibility and can devote myself full time to my real objectives with gusto again. It will require some rescheduling, new goal setting, planning, plotting, creative solutions etc, but I think the time to go all in may just be now. Well, it might not be, but necessity demands it. There is only so much time, and I simply cannot afford to waste anymore of it. Also, if you like this suit, I showed how I made the jacket pattern and sewed it up over on my YouTube channel so I will leave that video here below as well. <3Suit: Made my be

Hello there! I'm Bianca and here on The Closet Historian I study and recreate vintage fashions- sketching, pattern drafting, sewing, and thrifting my way to a vintage inspired wardrobe. I also occasionally attempt knitting, travel as often as I can, and make videos for YouTube, all while writing novels on the side.*
