I was hoping to start patterning a cap today but HMMM where has my graph paper gone in the move
Hello sunshine! Two #1810s dresses although would you believe, the bright silk creation on the right is an underdress, designed to be worn beneath a pale muslin gown. I think I would prefer it on its own @jbrightcollection.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Simone Garcia Johnson supported me from the beginning
For anyone contemplating a history research degree, or finishing one and pondering what to do next, Becoming a Historian by Penelope Corfield and @timhitchcock.bsky.social, published by @ihr.bsky.social in 2022, is an invaluable guide. I wish I’d kept Hugh Trevor-Roper’s short guide for comparison.
Moved several boxes of books into a tower that will block the view of the tv from the couch, which means that I have to put them away. 🧠

This week's very busy so I might not get to it until Saturday, but I will be patterning caps this week! Just for the GCVM costume shop's use, but I'm hoping to get the go-ahead to turn them into something the museum can sell.
