When I look at my post about 2018 costuming goals, I see that I literally didn't accomplish one thing on that list yet I was fairly productive. Sometimes life throws you curve balls that take you in a different direction. I took a swerve into World War One and fell down a rabbit hole, choosing a somewhat obscure impression. Research into that particular impression took quite a bit of time. I don't regret it one bit. Since I was already in the year 1918, I figured I'd also visit the late Edwardian era. Whenever you take on a new era, the underpinnings require quite a bit of time. I'm a firm believer in wearing the proper undergarments for the year that I'm dressed in. Thus my completed tasks, while a good number, simply aren't the ones I thought they'd be. Each project is linked to the blog post with details if there is one. The last two projects haven't had the blog post completed and the links will be updated when the posts are completed with photo shoots.
