The official website for Dress U 2012 has launched! Check out info about the conference, including class schedules, right here! I’ll be teaching two classes this year- an 18th Century bonnet workshop and a class about costuming for the lower classes in the 18th Century specifically geared towards reenactors. It’s going to be a GREAT time and really valuable info! Classes are being added all the time, so check back often! And if you sign up early, you’ll get a nice discount on registration!
And don’t forget to “like” Dress U on Facebook to keep updated with the latest news!

Ugh! Is there a way to change the background color on my dashboard? Mine is dark blue so the grey writing that shows notifications and such is basically invisible. SO! FRUSTRATING! Is it possible to change it?
