Pure silks for authentic historical costuming for historical costumes
Historically, to dress in silk was the exclusive privilege of the wealthy and powerful. We carry authentic silks for historical costuming for creating medieval and Renaissance costumes, Baroque clothing, Victorian dress, and fantasy costumes. We can help you located the fabric you need, whether it’s patterned damask for a Renaissance costume, a Baroque or Rococo brocade, silk taffeta or dupioni for a Victorian gown, or something else entirely. Silk has been a major presence in European high fashion since the early Middle Ages. For example, already the Vikings wore heavy silks with a plain, twill, or diamond weave that they brought back from exotic lands.
