Welcome to Epochs of Fashion

Welcome and Willkommen to Epochs of Fashion - all things costume and dress history for your information and inspiration!

My name is Nina and I am an art historian. I am delighted that you are here and share the passion for history, dress and sewing. Can you believe this website has its ten year anniversary this year?

I started teaching myself how to sew when I was in my early teens to be able to make historical costumes and this inspired a long love for dress history and textile crafts. I also illustrate historical fashion and share these on Instagram. The content on this website is in my native German and in English. Discover resources, learn about fascinating people from the past, get sewing tips and have fun with history!
