Historically Inspired Storybook Costumes
Wicked queens and Renaissance faeries, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella and Snow White - the outfits of these familiar characters, while not authentic period costumes, are inspired by the attire of the 16th to 19th centuries, when most of these stories were written. We thought they were so special, we've given them a home of their own.
