| Introduction | Hello! I'm Christine! Designer and Proprietor of Designs From Time. I was bitten with the historical costume bug as a child, but did not pursue it professionally until my children were grown. My career in historical costuming "officially" began as a hobby when in 2001 I joined my first Renaissance reenactment guild in CA and began creating garb for family and friends. What first began as a hobby unfolded into a full-time career in 2012 when I was fortunate to retire early and relocate to the beautiful state of Washington, and further my technical skills at the New York Fashion Academy in Seattle. My mission as a designer is to offer the public quality, bespoke historical clothing and bridal gowns. My designs are unique, highly detailed Haute Couture, using authentic reproductions and Historical Embroidery reprouctions and original, hand-drafted Millinery patterns; exclusively available through my brand, and available nowhere else in the USA, Canada, or Europe. I began this blog to satisfy the many requests to offer tutorials to aspiring costumers and sempstresses who share in my passion for history and creating beautiful, wearable art - - - www.DesignsFromTime.com |
