As I am sewing my bias-cut McCall’s 6696 slip this week, I did some research in my vintage sewing manuals. Click here to view the post on my companion blog, The Sartorial Sleuth, which includes excerpts from the manuals (such as “how to put on a slip” – who knew you could get it wrong?!) and my summarized guide to sewing slips.

I am currently a graduate student of historical fashion and textile conservation. For the past decade I have lectured on, designed, and built costumes for theatre. I am interested in experimental archaeology, how clothing has historically affected gender roles and the class/economic divide, and sustainability in fibersheds by comparing modern models to the past.
