I started sewing my own clothes for reenacting when I joined a Civil War unit back in 1985. Then after I began working at Colonial Williamsburg, I was bitten by the eighteenth century bug and began sewing clothes for that century. After a stint working at the Costume Design Center at Colonial Williamsburg, I began sewing clothes for reenactors, and it has grown from there.
Needing a new AUTHENTIC not costume, Colonial camp dress and more formal dress for reenactments. Does anyone know of a dress maker who can help or a patterns so I can have one made?
