Antique, Vintage, and Second Hand Stores: Great Resources for Costuming 2008-12-13 10:56:08 One of my first experiences with costuming involved a small part in a student-made film during my freshman year of college.

Rosie is lucky to be a dog, because she would not do too well as a person–she hates to wear clothes! Mostly, she experiences a paralyzing fear of velcro, and most pet costumes have velcro. Because Rosie won’t play dress up, I’ve been forced [...] Read more:Christmas

What to Wear on the Big Day 2008-12-08 22:04:45 Well, I’m not going to lie. I can’t write a fantastically awesome entry about costumes today because my mind is on one thing: I’m engaged! This happened to the world’s favorite costumer on Saturday during a LARP event. Rick (my fiance who inspired me to write about kilts among other topics) camped out at [...]

Costumes for the Whole Family - Part I 2008-12-05 10:38:38 Since this blog’s inception, I’ve written about important costuming topics such as kilts and age appropriate costuming.

Too Young for That? Examining Young People and Costumes 2008-12-03 10:53:00 It’s a common occurrence to see an underage (or even underdeveloped) young person dressing much older than their age. Aside from media and peer pressure, clothing stores do not offer young people much incentive to dress appropriately for their age–they, too, stress a tight, fitting look for young women.
