Quinn M. Burgess creates reproduction and costume historic clothing.

"Belle" is the name of the blue dress in the video. Please visit my blog to read more about its creation and use! http://quinnmburgess.wordpress.com/2010/12/27/belle-of-the-ball/

Quinn's skills include construction of modern and historic clothing, tailoring, millinery, dyeing, costume conservation, costume history, and wardrobe.

In addition, she uses traditional quilt patterns to create innovative quilt designs that have been featured at art galleries through juried selection processes. She also knits, designs and constructs ballroom dance costumes, and completes independently commissioned projects.

Quinn's unusual aptitude for creativity has been a catalyst for her imagination since childhood.
Her creative expression includes the construction of modern and historic clothing, quilting, the design and construction of ballroom dance costumes, millinery, and dyeing.

Quinn's inspiration has a strong foundation in history: historic dress, social history, and material history.
With the addition of clothing construction knowledge, her passions converge in an imaginative world of creative history that she loves to share with others.
