Striving for historical authenticity is my ultimate goal, but my challenge is to remain flexible and meld the "historical purist" with my client's vision or "fantasy." My mission as a professional is to offer finely crafted, bespoke historical clothing and bridal gowns. My designs are unique, highly detailed Haute Couture, featuring authentically drafted patterns; embellishments using historical embroidery reproductions; and original, hand-drafted Millinery designs exclusively available through my brand.
