Posting a quick #tbt to our #regency #christmas #project I wish I was feeling better, but I'm still a bit under the weather.

"There was a lady Inzilbêth, renowned for her beauty, and her mother was Lindórië, sister of Eärendur, the Lord of Andúnië in the days of Ar-Sakalthôr father of Ar-Gimilzôr. Gimilzôr took her to wife, though this was little to her liking, for she was in heart one of the Faithful, being taught by her mother; but the kings and their sons were grown proud and not to be gainsaid in their wishes. No love was there between Ar-Gimilzôr and his queen, or between their sons. Inziladûn, the elder, was like his mother in mind as in body; but Gimilkhâd, the younger, went with his father, unless he were yet prouder and more wilful. To him Ar-Gimilzôr would have yielded the sceptre rather than to the elder son, if the laws had allowed." #jrrtolkien #thesilmarillion p.412. We're still working on some costumes for our #numenor #miniature #project, but this will be the last pic about it for a while.

#throwback to our #2018 #regency #christmas #miniature reproduction of an #extant ca. 1797 #roundgown in the #danishnationalmuseum worn over a #chemisette and a #petticoat based on an extant example from the #oregonregencysociety The chemisette in an improvised #barbie #silkstone blouse. The striped green and pale gold silk taffeta sash, and the hairstyle were taken from the @americanduchess Guide. It's the best imitation of a 1797 hair I could do in 1/6 scale without the aid of a wig. #1790s #georgian #janeausten #americanduchessguide #18thcentury #historicalsewing #historicsewing #historiccostuming #historicalcostuming #cosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/BwCgCTdh_2z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x5x1akzxppyg

Have you watched #madamabutterfly ? This is one of the most popular and most dear to me. The first time a troupe went to my state I couldn't afford to watch and had to wait 3 more years to be able to watch it. Now I am blessed to be part of the #operacostuming team @winteroperastl Design by @laurenthecostumesmithbearden What a great opening night 🌙 👌 #furisode #puccini #historicsewing #kimono #madamebutterfly #costurahistorica #figurinista #costumedesign #hairanzuchelli (at St. Louis, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbkakMPAoxu/?utm_medium=tumblr
