We are a proud women-owned small business, comprised of four friends who all share a deep love of the art of sewing, and the meaning to be found in studying the garments of the past. Our mission is to provide well-researched, appropriately designed, and beautifully made 18th and early 19th century clothing to individuals, historic sites, educational institutes, and businesses.
Our expertise is in re-creating colonial North American men’s and women’s civilian clothing of the years between 1750 and 1825. Our clothing is patterned, cut, sewn, and finished in our homes using materials related as closely as possible to those found in 18th and 19th century extant period clothing. Our team focuses on finding unique fabric – vintage, when possible – made of natural fibers and in colors and prints that are representative of the time periods we are portraying. Many of our items are hand-finished, as preserving and proliferating historical, hand-sewing techniques for future generations is a keystone of our company. Our unique fabric stock, documented period construction techniques, and hand-finished details make all our pieces one of a kind.
