A Victorian closet tour!

[@julianyc422]

Costume Collections you've created could go in Museums, Theatre, and you could rent them out, bring collections to universities. It's unique what you have done, and clearly your passion.

[@Marg205]

I love your dresses and am impressed with your sewing talent. We do not see people as young as you that can sew so well. My mother was an awesome seamstress and my sister is also. I barely can sew a button or hem a pair of pants.

[@shivendetta3801]

I would give it all for the gothic gown. Stunning! Absolutely lovely!

[@frank7411]

Your costumes are so pretty! Specially the 1890s ones.

[@ElinorBrown]

I love this! I’m super jealous of your collection, I’ve been thinking I might sew my first ever historical outfit this summer after my university assignments are all finished (I’ve only ever sewed modern clothes before). But there are so many eras to choose from, it’s way to hard to decide !! Also, if your looking for someone to send your unwanted historical clothes to that would greatly appreciate them, I humbly volunteer 😂😉

[@Richdsils]

That gothic dress is gorgeous.

[@whisk938]

You should keep everything you've made. They are your creative works of art.

[@somerfables7651]

The skating bustle is EVERYTHING! I would wear that to death! you suit them so much too :)

[@adrianajones7181]

Wow, you give me hope, I know enough about sewing to be dangerous and knowing you are self taught and have made such beautiful gowns inspires me. Right now I need to make a Victorian belt

[@deniseodigie6339]

Please do a soutache tutorial, I'd love to learn how to use it!

[@thesewloartist]

Unfortunately, I’m not much of an expert! Maybe someday =)

[@breec]

If you're looking to clear your closet and don't want to list them for sale on Facebook marketplace or wherever, you could reach out to local costuming groups/guilds and see if any of their members would be interested. New members especially may be interested

[@thesewloartist]

This is such a good idea! I’ve been planning on clearing out my closet for ages, but I hat shipping things 😭

[@breec]

@@thesewloartist Shipping is awful. Especially now with USPS being mismanaged. Maybe a local person/group would be willing to pick up or have a place for drop off.

[@julianyc422]

I work in the Apparel Industry and work in CAD, Design, pattern design, grading and production. Your work is wonderful. Oakland School for the Arts and hundreds of other Schools for Theatre Design would love you as a guest lecturer, covering Art and Fashion History as well as Design, knock off work, and pattern making. While, you don't need it, I love a book on Couture Sewing and Seam finishes, you'd love the pictures, and it's amazing the techniques and how they have NOT changed in 100s of years.

[@jenniferrussell9118]

I'm very much an artist, and love costumes you have really caught my interest. Your outfits are amazing, and you show them in a very interesting way. We'll done, don't give it up ❤

[@williamkazak469]

I really like the yellow striped gown. A very cheerful color it is on you.

[@citybug91]

You could sell the ones you don't want anymore to your followers who are costumers and would appreciate them. :)

[@thesewloartist]

I'm planning on doing just that! I think it's time :) My temporary etsy shop goes live tomorrow.

[@citybug91]

@@thesewloartist Yay! I'll be looking out!

[@januaryli119]

beautiful dresses! 😍😍

[@PolyvoreThea]

I love your house inspired gown!

[@crowfaerymori]

Oooh! Some great inspiration here!

[@dismurrart6648]

You did do a really great job on the pattern alterations

[@hazeluzzell]

Do you make your own corsets for all the different periods?

[@saraa3418]

The yellow stripe dress reminds me of the Sleepy Hollow dress, so why not make a stomacher to allow you to wear the dress?

[@TheHperez]

Hello there! I love, love, love your garments. I wonder if you can make me one of the tennis dresses. Let me know please.

[@chayanika8155]

How can I learn to sew like you?!

[@nadinekremann-will1188]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕

[@milliejay1451]

I can’t sew but I really want a Victorian gown. Anyone know where I can buy one in the U.K.?

[@cosmiclatte9416]

Wool as swimwear?

[@Olga_Ovechkina]

Yes. Most of edwardian and late-victorian swimsuits are made of wool.

[@rosabanegas6475]

Where is this victorian festival

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

Port Townsend, Washington (state), US

[@EuniceKamauw]

Can I ask humbly for your donations.

[@juliejohnson497]

Why don't you auction off some of your clothes and give the proceeds to charity? I am sure yoir viewers would be enthusiastic.
