Historical Costume Inspiration Festival!

Atlanta @ Story of a Seamstress and I have been putting together a special event!!

"Have you ever dreamt of recreating that beautiful dress in your favorite painting? Or that stunning ball gown from the latest costume drama? What about that chic retro 40s suit?


Now is the perfect time to work on that costume project! Have it ready by Monday, October 3rd – then dress up and do some beautiful photo shoots. Prepare your own blog post including pictures of your creation, tell what exactly inspired you (pictures if applicable are best), and description of materials and methods. During the event you will be able to enter your post into the link pool so everyone can enjoy seeing the lovely creations!"


Go and see all the rules here. I'm oh so excited about the festival...and Atlanta and I have been thinking up some marvelous posts (and a surprise or two) for the event! So...definitely plan on participating!
