TAKEAWAYS

Through this project, I learned the importance of researching historical clothing and finding online stores that have equivalent clothing. There are a lot of different types of clothing from the 50s, and different circumstances they would be worn in. It was important to me that the clothing, by themselves, could convey the time period. Since 50's clothing, let alone 50's wedding attire, isn't easily accessible, I had to be able to adapt  by searching for historical clothing websites and go thrifting for the proper costumes.
