The Costume Queen,

Namely moi!

Sargent had costumes made as well as Paxton and Degas.

I have had at least 10 tutus made, Meschantes corsetiere made me about 7 custom corsets, my seamstress made me about 7 puffy sleeved tops and I have bought countless wigs, ballet slippers and other frou-frous. This does not of course neglect the lace camisoles on eBay or the sashes purchased out of New York.

It is a wonderful way to make a picture your own. Of course this means my own wardrobe has taken a severe hit. But as they say if you can't afford to be chic, be outrageous.

Another suggestion, don't try to recreate the past and make ye old pictures, use the costumes to make your own statement.
