To celebrate the beginning of summer weather, here is last year’s summer blowout with the Hemwick Regency Society! For an outdoor concert at the Van Dusen Gardens, I dressed as a high-fashion French Merveilleuse – wearing all of the best late 1790s fashion trends at once!

In honor of the annual Spring Fertility festival, here three pairs of 18th Century Pockets! (All of them bright, colorful, vaguely egg-shaped, and perfectly designed for holding your Easter chocolates!)
