Support A Burlesque Costume Exhibit
There is one week left to fund this project!
For the past five years, The Great Burlesque Exposition has hosted one of the largest and most informative displays of burlesque costuming in the United States. The difficult part has always been seeing the exhibit; since it was only set up as part of the annual 3-day event, like a shooting star it was there and then gone. Many burlesque fans and scholars wanted more time with the costumes – and a larger exhibit.We're pleased to partner with The West End Museum of Boston. The museum is delighted to host an expanded version of our costume exhibit for a month, beginning a few days after The Great Burlesque Exposition. From April 10, 2012 through May 12, 2012 the costumes will be on display in an appropriate location: a museum dedicated to the Boston neighborhood which encompassed Scollay Square, Boston's original burlesque district. One of the benefactors of The West End Museum has pledged to match our fund drive, dollar for dollar, if we can raise over $500.00 – that's where you come in. We need these funds to transport and insure these unique and historical costumes; license images of vintage burlesque costumes and performers; and purchase the display accessories which will allow us to showcase these beautiful pieces in the manner in which they deserve to be shown. Admission to this exhibit will be free while it is housed The West End Museum. A portion of the funds go towards providing free access to these wonderful pieces of Americana. | | Wednesday, January 11th, 2012 | 11:02 am

storage and organization
Cross posted! My big goal of the year is to organize my life, mainly my costuming life. So I am looking for help in the following areas, storing and organizing of: Costumes, fabric, books, patterns, props, and unfinished projects. Currently most of my patterns are pretty well sorted. so they are the lowest priority. Books: well I started a library thing, but not all are up there and I just need to get back to that. I have an old card catalog drawer set too. (because of course it was to be used for my husbands books as well as mine!) Finished costumes: Currently are being stored hanging in closets. I do multiple eras and have young children. (eldest is 5) I want to make garmant bags for them, anyone know of a good pattern or tutorial to start me off? I do need to sort through and find out what my children have outgrown. I need good storage for hats, not that we have many, but we do need more! Fabric: OY! currently it is stored in various rubbermaid totes all over the house! Seriously this is the biggest issue. I don't know what I have. Some would end up listed on my etsy site. | | Wednesday, October 26th, 2011 | 3:35 pm

English coastguard 1860s uniform help neededCostuming issue here. I have even been to our local museum (after all we are a local fishing port!) and our coastguard station but no one could help *boggle* Next Spring, my theatre group is putting on a play about a local historical event which happened in 1866, in our town. One of the main historical personages is the then local coastguard. Because uniforms can be very fiddly to make, I am looking at getting it done as one of the first costumes for the show to be done. But, no-one seems to have any idea what a Victorian / English coastguard would have been dressed like, in the 1860s (the only pictures and descriptions that I could access in town via the museum and coastguard station go back to the 1920s) . We know that they had a specific uniform, just no pictures of what it was like! Obviously we want to get it correct, and while I am planning on writing off the the national Maritime and Coastguard Agency offices in Southampton to see if they can help, I was wondering if by any chance you lovely people here had any relevant pictures... ? Thanks so much :) | | Monday, August 15th, 2011 | 12:07 am

Help
Hi, I'm new here. I've just gotten back from a trip to the mall (a place I go maybe every year at the most) and in possesion of a pair of venetian masks that I'm supposed to use to inspire me to make two full venetian costumes for a party that we'll be attending in early November. So, I come to you asking for help and advice for finding patterns and fabric ideas for two Venetian dresses- assesory suggestions welcome as well. One will be blue and teal, the other black, white and an accent color yet unchosen. I sew well and have a machine (or three). I don't know how to draft from scratch but can modify existing patterns. | | Sunday, June 19th, 2011 | 2:33 pm
