Antique Textile Adventure – Part One: Embroidery
Last week I was permitted the unique opportunity to go back to my alma mater and spend the day studying antique corsets, gowns, and embroidered textiles at The Ohio State University Historic Costume and Textiles Collection. Because wonderful things deserve to shared, I asked my dear friend Roxanne McGovern of 3Graces Jewelry to come along with me to my appointment to view the items I had requested. I know many of you who follow my blog also have a lot of interest in antique textiles, so I decided to write about my experience in order that all of you could enjoy the beautiful garments as well. I saw and photographed quite a few items, so I will probably split up the experience into several blog posts for ease of reading.

La Carmina Wears the Anatomist Corset in Oddities New Season Trailer
La Carmina can be seen wearing the Anatomist corset at 0:13 in this trailer for the new season of The Science Channel’s hit show Oddities! This television show follows all the interesting (and odd!) things that are bought and sold in Obscura, a unique antique store in NYC. It’s one of my favorite shows on TV right now so I was really excited when La Carmina contacted me looking for something to wear that would suit the theme of the show! Since Obscura sells a lot of skeletal specimens, I knew that antique anatomical illustrations would be the perfect design for this corset!
New episodes of Oddities premiere February 9th at 9pm. I can’t wait to see the full episode! What do you think Carmina is doing with that giant taxidermy beast head? Be sure to comment on our Facebook page after you have seen the episode and let us know what you think!
