To all that was coming out to Marching Thru History Expo: the event has been postponed until 2022 as the insurance company has pulled out because there would be black powder and fi****ms there. This is because of what happened on the movie set in New Mexico and because of the people getting trampled at the concert. Several others insurance companies were tried and to no avail. The City of Norco was fully in support of this event. A very big thank you to all that were going to attend.

Announcing the Costume College 2022 Theme: "Costuming Post Apocalypse: Creating a New World"
Although I love Mad Max, this theme is not just about post-apocalyptic costumes. It is about how we create new worlds through costume, such as the Star Wars universe, the Old West with robots, or so many worlds populated by zombies. It is also about how good things and new styles can come from terrible times, like the 50’s iconic "New Look” following WWII or because of Zoom. I have actually talked to my family more in the past year than before the pandemic!
We have just begun the planning process, so I do not have my entire committee lined up yet, let alone all of the event themes. We will be announcing other event themes and new information in the near future, as we have them available, both on social media and our website.
There are still spaces available on the planning committee, including positions that do not require local residence, so if you would like to volunteer to help plan an amazing event, please contact me at [email protected].
Cheers,
Gina C.

Kris did an excellent job on her first corset, finishing it in a day and a half! Now, on to the underpinnings! She has gotten a little taste of our enthusiasm for history and historical clothing and might be ready to jump in!

Summer is almost upon us and time to turn to summer attire. C. 1865 that would mean something like this 4 piece sheer cotton dress. The white cotton is printed with blue and black stripes. The overskirt is an ‘apron’ trimmed in lace with pocket slits and a wide ribbon sash. #ksumusuem #1865 #1865fashion #1860s #1860sfashion #1860sdress #printedcotton #summervibes #summeroutfits #summertime

🧵Historical sewing in a small apartment is a nightmare. Kudos to the hubby for gracefully navigating through panniers, bustles, and yards of silk on a daily basis.
PS. We need a house!
Happy Easter!

While much of the cotton from the Arabia dissolved after 132 years in the mud, this piece of ribbon miraculously survived. The edges are tattered, but the plaid design is still prominent. The ribbon measures 1.5 inches wide and may have been intended for applications such as facing a hem.
