This is a sneak peak of the hand sewing that goes into the 1953 coronation gown by Norman Hartnell. This dress is 100% sewn together by hand because of all the tiny stripes that must match. I haven’t been posting because hand sewing may be boring to watch! I found this interesting quote by Austin Kleon. Do you agree that art making should be hidden? #makingart #artmaking #sewing #couturesewing #couturesewingtechniques created by Cara | Designer & Seamstress with Piano Dreamers's Only Love Can Hurt Like This - Instrumental

Were there purple dresses in the 1950’s, and is it historically inaccurate to recreate a dress using that color? Haute couture used purple! #vintagefashion #sewingtiktok created by Cara | Designer & Seamstress with Armani White's BILLIE EILISH.

Hate how trafficking organizations remain silent when it comes to trafficking children for adoption purposes. Being bought/sold/forced into slavery & abused is trafficking. #adoptee #kad #koreanadoptee #koreanadoption #adoptionjourney #adoptionstory created by Cara | Designer & Seamstress with Cara | Designer & Seamstress's original sound
