Greetings! I am a mature-age student studying a Bachelor of Heritage, Museums and Conservation at the University of Canberra in Australia and in mid-2017 will be travelling to the UK to conduct research into the trims of the Georgian Period as part of a Kickstarter Project that will be closing in a few days time. I will be analysing garments closely and taking photographs to show how all the different types of trims were constructed and then applied to the garment. With this information I will then make reproduction trim so I can add construction tutorials. This information will then be published in a full-colour A4 softcover book. I bring to this project my foundation experience as a historical tailor, teacher, collector of antique textiles and experience as a desktop publisher. I am keen for others to understand how trims are made and applied so that they can construct reproduction garments with more knowledge and be able to repair garments appropriately.
