For anyone who has ever wondered what it would look like if the dresses in historical photographs came to life, this program explains how one such photograph of Saratoga Springs inspired a months-long recreation project. Covering the design and construction process, and revealing the finished garment and how it’s worn, this program on Victorian clothing will appeal to makers, history buffs, and fashion enthusiasts alike.

Caitlin Sheldon is a full time librarian who studies and makes historical clothing in her spare time for both fun and profit. Her costume adventures have taken her from the 14th Century to the 20th, from Los Angeles to Leicester and beyond, though she makes her home in Saratoga Springs with her partner and their dog. She can be found most places online as The Victorian Archivist.
