Peregrina
Peregrina is a 1900 era ladies stage costume, presented with accessories and an Edwardian slip. The garments are made from repurposed, upcycled, antique and period appropriate materials, including cotton, hemp, silk, linen, wool, straw, feather and metal hardware. The pattern is simple, reflecting the skills expected of a home sewist around 1900. The main components of the suit are reversible, so one set of pieces provides several outfits. Hidden or dual purpose hardware, including buttons and hooks and eyes, keeps the pieces aligned and supports the weight of the heavy fabrics.
