I used to be a Costumer

For, like, fifteen years.
I made a number of items in most eras of western european history.
I never made it to this level of
beauty or accuracy. 250 people worked together to make this bodice.


Amazing.

Wow. That's really a lovely co-operative piece of art. Thank you!

Astonshing and really, a lesson in construction. I mean, women of the time didn't make their own, they had embroiderers and seamsters and weavers, so it's a very very accurate piece. So amazing what communal work can achieve.
