The Cortland County Historical Society is hosting a Hauntingly Historic Fashion Challenge!
⁠
Calling all stitch witches and time-traveling tailors: we dare you to craft your very own Bloomer Ensemble based on a pattern inspired by CCHS’s own historic piece. Will you haunt the halls in a faithful reproduction or give your bloomers a bewitching, modern twist? The choice is yours! ⁠
⁠
The pattern is FREE to download, but if you’d rather not sell your soul to your printer, CCHS has printed copies for just $25 (purely to cover printing, no ghostly upcharges).⁠
⁠
Then… the ghosts of fashion past will assemble! ⁠
⁠
Cortland County Historical Society is summoning all vintage vamps and dapper apparitions for a Historic Costume Contest this October (more details creeping in soon…👀). Strut your stuff in your Bloomer best for a fashion face-off of the centuries! Who will reign as the spectral style icon of the season? Only time (and the judges) will tell… 👁️💀⁠
