P.E.I. Historic and Reproduction Clothing

This blog displays the various period reproduction projects and events I am involved in. I have been collecting historic clothing, and making reproduction period clothing, since the summer I portrayed the Father of Confederation Andrew A. MacDonald for the 125th Anniversary celebrations of the birth of Canada. This blog began in 2010 to mark the 100th Anniversary of Lucy Maud Montgomery's marriage and our reproduction project creating the outfits in her wedding trousseau.
