Please note that you're welcome to use and repost images, so long as I'm credited as the photographer, owner, and/or -- in the case of original works shown -- the designer :)

You're welcome to print out and use any antique embroidery templates, as well as any antique fashion plates I share :) They're all originals from my personal collection, so no worries! I collect with regularity and am only too happy to share the information with fellow costume researchers and re-enactors :)

I hope you enjoy the images I've got here :) Thanks for stopping by! :)
