My name is Dani, and I love costumes.
Ever since I was very small child I LOVED dressing up in pretty dresses, and oh my goodness Disney princesses were definitely my idols as far as clothing went! When I was seven my friend and I tried to make our own Princess Jasmine-esque clothes, and I was given my very own sewing machine, to make doll clothes mainly. Until I was about twelve the only things I made were more clothes for various Barbies, Bratz, and even Polly Pockets. Annnnnyyway, skip a few years and here I am now. I sew as often as I can, And I am a major fan of costume films. Marie Antoinette is a particular favourite of mine.
History is another passion of mine. This ties in nicely for me because historical costuming is pretty much my favourite thing ever. Anything from some ancient Greek chitons to cute sixties minidresses, with a couple of exceptions, obviously (Does anyone really like those disgustingly poofy 1840s frocks?). I'm still learning, especially as it is really only a hobby at present. Sewing has to come after school and family. Which is fair enough for now, I suppose.
So why not follow my adventures in costuming? (And my Pinterest board :P) I won't be posting really regularly, or every week or anything, but every time I do something I'll post about how I made it etc. :)
Hope you're enjoying your Summer! Or winter, if you're in the Northern Hemisphere. :)
Oh, and any advice is more than welcome!
