19th Century Women - Period Pattern Class

This is not a class that I teach, but I love to share the projects on Instagram because they're just gorgeous! So, I'll do a quick photocollage here on the blog showing some of the projects so far:

These are not all of the projects by all of the students, just a selection. The students propose projects within a given time period window using period research (a portrait, a fashion magazine illustration, etc) and they create at least half of.the full-size gown. They occasionally will create the whole costume, but especially for the 19th century, the yardage required is so large that there's not money and time for the full garment.

This course was originally conceived and taught by the program's founding costume director, Judy Adamson. This semester it is taught by faculty member Bobbi Owen and in future will be taught be our new costume director and program head, Triffin Morris.
