2020 historical costuming: a year in review

[@elisabethm9655]

Now THIS is what ‘Little Women’ was supposed to look like....beautiful tastes of the past year - I guess 2020 had some positive highlights, too ❤️

[@Ninonella]

Thank you so much! This year was absolutely crazy and not in a good way, but I found solace in my sewing. (And don't get me started on "Little Women" - I could spent an hour talking about all the thing wrong with the costumes.)

What a journey it’s been! And now we have next year to look forward to!

[@Ninonella]

Yeah, what a year. Here's to hoping for a better 2021 😊

If you take requests, I would love to see a hobble evening skirt dress look from the late 1900s!

[@Ninonella]

I love that idea!

@@Ninonella I always loved historical fashion and now the lockdown got me into sewing. Your creations are truly beautiful and inspiring. I hope to be able to work towards similar projects one day. Thank you for the inspiration :)

[@Ninonella]

Thank you, I'm so glad to hear that! I'm sure you'll be there in no time :)

One thing I have noticed is that your videography is just as remarkable as your dresses. Do you have a camera crew follow you around? And then, do you have a remarkable video editor who does the same? Just curious. Your dresses are the most impressive I have ever seen, and the way you present them adds to their richness.

[@Ninonella]

Oh, thank you so much, your comment really made my day! My camera crew consists of my mom who is learning how to be a videographer even though she really doesn't want to) And I edit all of my videos myself - I grew up wanting to be a video editor for a local TV station, so I'm living my dream right now.

[@donaldjones9469]

You are quite remarkable. Every time I see your videos, it reminds me of the BBC version of Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice. I like your mom’s videography. She captures the essence of your work. And the way you tie everything together in your edits, I’m, like, “Wow!” You are beautiful, I love the way you style your hair to match the era, the costumes, and where you film your videos, both inside and out, all transport me to another time. Thank you sooo much for sharing your work. You are truly talented in so many ways!

[@Ninonella]

Thank you! I LOVE BBC Pride and Prejudice, it was one of the reasons I started going to historical dancing club, because I wanted to learn "Mr. Beveridge's Maggot" country dance so much. And when I started dancing, I realized that I needed a ball gown for the historical balls and performances, and this was my introduction to historical costuming, and it's all history from there 😊

Glad you think so!
