About Peregrina Makasaysayang Kasuotang Pang-entablado

Ang Peregrina ay isang kasuotang pang-entablado ng kababaihan mula sa panahon ng 1900, na inilalahad kasama ang mga aksesorya at isang Edwardian slip. Ang mga kasuotan ay gawa mula sa mga materyales na muling ginamit, na-upcycle, antigo, at angkop sa panahon, kabilang ang cotton, abaka, seda, linen, lana, dayami, balahibo, at mga metal na kagamitan. Simple ang padron, na sumasalamin sa mga kasanayang inaasahan sa isang mananahi sa tahanan noong bandang 1900. Ang mga pangunahing bahagi ng kasuotan ay maaaring baliktarin, kaya't ang isang set ng mga piraso ay nagbibigay ng ilang magkakaibang kasuotan. Ang mga nakatago o may dalawang gamit na kagamitan, kabilang ang mga butones at mga hook and eye, ang nagpapanatili sa pagkakahanay ng mga piraso at sumusuporta sa bigat ng mabibigat na tela.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Peregrina is a 1900 era ladies stage costume with accessories and an Edwardian slip made from repurposed, upcycled, antique and era appropriate materials. The pattern for the suit is simple to reflect the level of design and construction capability that would have been expected of a home sewist circa 1900. What is truly innovative about this suit is that it is reversible. This flexibility provides a series of outfits from just one setup, in a nod to the tailor mades of the time.
Dimensions & Packaging: Suit fits a US women size 4, and dimensions vary due to wrap style.
Bust up to 105 cm
Waist up to 76 cm
Hips up to 115 cm
Submission Materials Contents include Cotton, Hemp, Silk, Linen, Wool, Straw, Feather, and Metal Hardware.

Production Technology: Research, pattern drafting, mockups and production took over 500 hours. Only era available contemporary fabrics were used where antique materials could not be sourced. Antique hardware and silk were used where feasible. While a basic sewing machine was used for main construction, only straight and zig zag stitches were employed to maintain era consistency. Most of the suit and all mockups were made from repurposed drapes saved from a now closed natural fibers boutique.
Design Challenge: There were two main challenges for this costume. First was sourcing antique and era-appropriate materials on a very small budget. Second was making the main costume components completely reversible while still preserving modesty and a correct silhouette. The reversibility required mockups with significant trial and error to ensure true era appropriate design and construction.
Research: Historical references for design, construction, fabric patterns, colors and fibers include photos of 1900 era ancestors, plus online and print resources. Online resources included US Census Bulletin of era available fibers, as well as database searches of museums with era relevant clothing archives. Print Resources included reference books published by museums with era relevant clothing archives, along with numerous fashion and dressmaker magazines from the years 1900 through 1910.
Inspiration: Created in response to a call for a 1900 era historic costume for actors portraying suffragettes and women traveling across North America. The suit was inspired by inherited heirlooms and documents of a true free spirited Muse who embodied the independent characters to be depicted. The Muse had traveled extensively in this time and is a distant relative of the designer. The name is a nod to the family maritime roots and boat name at that time, Peregrinator, hence the nautical details.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2024 in Houston, Texas and finished in January 2025 in Houston, Texas.
Operation Flow: The reversible components use hardware that is either dual purpose or hidden to ensure a sleek form. Buttons at inner and outer skirt waist sides are both used as closures and shirtwaist connection to support the skirt. This keeps individual pieces from shifting out of alignment while elegantly transferring and distributing the weight of heavy materials. Hooks and eyes ensure critical components retain points of contact important for appearance and flow while moving on stage.
