I have been a living historian and reenactor of the 1830's and 1860's for almost 20 years but here I find myself interested with the early 20thC. Lately I have been working on my family tree and found that my father, his sister and mother all came over form England on the Lusitania in 1911. I wish I had some photos of my grandmother then but they were poor and could not afford to do that. My father was 1 and a day when they landed at Elise Island. I can remember my father telling me stories of my grandmother wearing high collars that were starched and had stays to keep them standing up straight.
This is surly going to be a challenging project but that is ok. I am always up for a good challenge. My first project will be the monthly challenge that has been sent out to those interested in taking it on. Since my group is waiting for they regular monthly pattern this slip will keep me busy while I wait. So now I will have something to wear under my new 1912 duds.
