Good evening. I am a tailor; I have been for a very long time. I first learned to sew when I was 5, and ever since I've been experimenting with styles, fabrics, eras, and inspirations. For the past few years, I've been designing [and sometimes recreating] gowns and outfits from the 1890s. My favourites are those from the long-gone courts of Russia, and those based on its intricately detailed uniforms. Currently in the works are two silk court dresses, and a recreation of Tatiana's Ulan uniform.

When I'm not lost in the 1890s, I'm making vintage suits, playing with fountain pens [and inks!], collecting antiques, and obsessing over old jewelry.

Shall we proceed? — 𝙼𝚊𝚍𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚇

Being a fan of circa 1890 fashion, I never thought the 1880s would be so alluring...but this 1884 gown has captured my heart.

A sneak peak of a yet-to-be-announced project!
