The items displayed in the Historical Costume Gallery are 18th century reproductions and have been created by Hallie Larkin over a period of several years. They are not for sale, but may have been custom orders for clients of the Golden Scissors. All of the garments are handsewn and constructed in the 18th century manner, using only period techniques with no modern shortcuts, historically accurate fabrics, trims and threads. When possible, sources and vendors are noted, but not all fabrics are still available in the marketplace. |
