Truly Victorian News Center

Truly Victorian only does one show a year anymore, and that show is Costume College.  And having just come back from a fantatic weekend, I just want to say Thank You!! to all the wonderful people who were there.

I can't tell you how huge a treat is it to see so many wonderfull outfits, so many happy faces, and be around so much enthusiasm and good will.  You all have rejuvenated my  own enthusiasm and energy, and I have come away with so much I would like to accomplish in the next year.

I had a super wonderful weekend, and I hope everyone else had as much fun as I did.  See you all next year!!

Two Edwardian skirt have joined the Corset in our new Edwardian line of patterns.

The first is a 1903 Trumpet Skirt, a seven gore skirt with a flared hem.  The second is a 1905 Circular Skirt.

Truly Victorian is branching out into a new era, the Edwardian Era of 1901 - 1909.  Already available is our new Edwardian Corset pattern - TVE01.

Coming in the next week or two will be 2 skirt patterns; one a 1903 Trumpet Skirt and a 1905 Circular Skirt.  Later this month we will be adding a 1903 Blouse Pattern.  Maybe 2, if time permits.  We also have plans for a corset cover/circular drawers pattern, and a belt pattern. 

We will be getting out as many as we can before Costume College, at the end of July.   I am already planning several other skirt styles, but have to get to the others first.

I am so in love with Edwardian styles right now!

I finally had confirmation the new shopping cart is just not compatable with my existing host provider.  (Network Solutions, in case anyone want to know who to avoid.)  So I went ahead and got  a new website at a new host, and moved the new cart to it.  And Yay!!   It works!!  I made a couple more modifications to the layout, but it is all up and running great, is secure, and life is now great.

On to the next project... the Edwardian Corset.

Well, I haven't heard a word about my host being able to fix the new shopping cart.   So, I have linked back in the old shopping pages, which still work OK.   It will do until I get a new cart up and running.

I have my eye set on a CS Cart, and it looks pretty interesting.  It's getting lots of good reviews, very few bad ones.  So I will set to work on a version of that, and hope it goes better than the last cart.   Keeping my fingers crossed!!  With any luck, a couple of weeks from now will see a new shopping page.
