Perhaps I'm overdressed for a stroll, but I can't resist the sounds and colors of fall in Arizona...Dressing in Attire is normal here in Tombstone, one of the reasons we love it. If we hosted an event here...would you come out and see the Real Old West? We're brewing some ideas.... . . . . #lilyabsinthehome #tombstone #oldwest #oldwesttombstone #historicdistrict #ourvictorianhome #museumhat #extantembroidery #dressforsuccess #1890sfashion #LAartist #Topangagirlgoeswest #lilyabsinthegown (at The Dressmaker's Cottage at #11) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2xCKtYp5ob/?igshid=1aqg802ymry3n

Day 2 is "Red" for #fallforcostume by @redthreaded Red isn't my bestest favorite color, but...Ruby, Coral, and Wine will do! Red is usually the first shade my clients as for, so it's the first color we use when we make RTW. . #lilyabsinthegown #fallforcostume #day2 #daytwored #historicalcostume #LAartist #museumhat #extantembroidery #vintageglamour (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ILclLpdjw/?igshid=1ouagrn9p5hkq

This was the fashion plate I used for silhouette inspiration for these pieces, what started out as simple... became a project with strategic padding, specific corset styles, crazy hairpieces, and petticoats. Um, lots of them. . . . . . #stillstitching #lilyabsinthegown #oldgownrestored #extantembroidery #extanthat #restoredparasol #museumlace #hiddenclosures #LAartist (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1uzNFkpi7P/?igshid=w1pl03i1o02o

From fitted bodice shell to nearly finished bodice...I'm living on the edge sewing while corseted and barefoot because life is glamorous. . . . #beholdmyglamour #1890sfashion #LAartist #onadeadline #extantembroidery #gownrefashioning #shatteredgownrestored #theother90s (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1uvI6XJkcx/?igshid=n6hkkfu17r0l
