Hello Everyone! My name is Chelsea, and I've been asked by my brother's lovely fiancee to make her wedding dress! This is going to be a journal of the process, with pictures and explanations as to how I go about doing this awesome project :-)
In college I worked in the theater department, in both the costume shop and the stage shop. During my junior year, I did an independent study with the costume shop supervisor and created a corset and petticoat from the 1500's. This was the precursor for my senior project (which was my thesis) For that I built a dress from a painting from 1520. I loved working in theater, but was unable to do so in the real world. However, this is allowing me to indulge my creative side for a while. I am super excited about this!
If you've found my blog, and DON'T know me, please leave a comment saying how you found me, and what you interest is! I've gotten some hits from all different countries, so I'm curious!
