Hartrelic

Custom Sewing, Design, Costuming, Quilting and Alterations. I began sewing when I was about 8 years old. by correspondence. The name Hartrelic chose me.

Through my younger years I participated in a variety of 4-H projects including Sew & Show and took a fashion design course in H.S. I graduated from Indiana Purdue University Fort Wayne Indiana in 2004 with a BA in Theater (emphasis costume design). Courses I took include Script Analysis, Period Styles, Costume Rendering, Pattern Drafting & Construction. I have since designed and constructed shows

🎀hidden collection of Victorian undergarments🎀

Bloomers, chemises, slips, and more! Undergarments are so personal. When I look at these I imagine the personalities of the women who wore them. There must be close to a hundred pieces, so that’s a hundred women, all with their own unique story of living in the west.

So exciting to see split front bloomers in person. They all have slightly different construction. The chemises are all unique as well, some with and without drawstring. Materials range from cotton and silk voile to cotton broadcloth and even cotton twill. The pieces have ribbon, lace, embroidery, pintucks, and other types of embellishment.

If you are a historian, researcher, or reenactor, consider adding the history museum of New Mexico to your list. They invite people to use their textile collection ❤️

French designer Sylvie Facon is known for her intricated fairy tale–like dresses. Facon’s attention to detail would steal any catwalk as she manages to create gowns that at first might look like a work of fiction. These out of this world dresses are crafted from the spines of old books.
