In this video, I talked about the making of an 1895 gown, along with the history of the "puffed sleeve", as mentioned in the famous book Anne of Green Gables by L M Montgomery. I discuss the evolution and phasing out of the puffed sleeve, and also what I use to make my dresses so puffy! The photography is Lindsey Hinderer (who I did the photoshoot with) https://lindseyhinderer.com/gallery The other photos with my family are from a costumed family photoshoot I did with Heather Hackney in Chicago. https://heatherhackn
