#sewstine

Guys. So, Sewstine (she has a costuming channel on YouTube, if you don't already know her!) announced a long time ago that she was hosting an Art Nouveau ball in Chicago in March of next year, and AS you might guess, I was ECSTATIC, BUT tickets sold out almost immediately and I had hesitated just a bit too long. 😭 I've been super bummed out that I'd miss it (especially since I'd MET Sewstine at the LAST historical costume ball I went to in Chicago, and she was super nice and told me my dress was pretty. 🥺 Sooo I like to imagine that we're "friends" now. 😌😂) but I was on a waiting list. A few tickets came available a few months ago, but I missed those too (they sold out in the hours between the email being sent and when I saw it first thing in the morning! 😅😭), but then YESTERDAY, I woke up to another email again, and I was like shaking in excitement and fear, haha, but THIS time I was not too late! 🥺 So... I'm going to the ball! I am... Over the moon, haha! I've scarcely been able to think about anything else since then, I'm so excited!!!

honestly there’s nothing like the sense of community within the costube corner of youtube. watching Bernadette Banner texting Rachel Maksy about how an edwardian haircare routine made her drunk. Morgan Donner commenting on Sewstine’s videos. Bernadette Banner leaving a fake “omg i totally saw you violating those sumptuary laws 🙄” hate comment on Karolina Żebrowska’s beauty guru but it’s 1588 video. like where else can you get content like this
