Ladies, I’m just posting this snippet to let you know that I will be selling off a handful of my past costumes, starting with these two. They are listed in the American Duchess Etsy shop.
This, believe it or not, is THE first costume I EVER made, for The Gatsby Picnic in Oakland, CA. It’s based on a 1925/26 tennis dress I saw in Art Deco Fashion
And this is literally the SECOND costume I ever made. It was for the very first ballroom costume dance I ever attended, the PEERS Mardi Gras de Vampyres, waaaaay back in 2004. I still love this dress immensely, just doesn’t fit anymore. The contrasting coat is a kick too.
Don’t laugh at my silly 19 year old self with my bleach blonde hair! I like to think I’m getting better (at least more elegant) with age!

And I love both the costumes!
