With all the updates to Ye Olde Blogge, I was going back and checking the “Projects” page when I found several costumes I finished but never actually posted about. The horror! So in the interest of being thorough and not disappointing readers who may be a-Googlin’ on to old dress diaries, I have written the final posts (backdated). Here they are:
1740s Scottish Tartan Outfit using Simplicity 8161
The 1770s Silver Ghost Francaise
There, even though these are really old costumes and projects, I feel better now that the project page is a little more complete and a little less “what ever happened to…”

January 22, 2021 at 7:12 PMOh my gosh, love these! I still heavily rely on many people's blog posts for reference when making historical clothing, so I appreciate the time and effort you and others put into documentation of outfits! Sometimes YouTube just is NOT the ticket for me, as I'm both hard of hearing and have to see something done in steps multiple times before I'm comfortable.

January 23, 2021 at 10:37 PMthank you! 1919 is such an interesting year. I love all of the 19teens fashion. I think it's underrated.

January 24, 2021 at 6:55 PMIt's lovely to see all these complete and yes, there's something very satisfying about being able to tick off a project as all done.
