I thought you may like to read the article below which is taken from a recent copy of the Sedgefield Web – which is a internet based site for news, photos and information in County Durham.
Julia Renaissance Costumes
Gloria Wills has sent this picture of the wonderful entertainment on Monday 8th July at DIDO (Days In, Days Out). Julia, of ‘Julia Renaissance Costumes’ has created all the costumes herself. She gave a talk on each of the costumes, how they were made, and the history of the people she has chosen to feature, including Ann Boleyn, Henry III, Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots. You could hear a pin drop for about an hour, and everyone really enjoyed the day. Costume Designer Julia Soares- McCormick creates fabulous costumes with underwear and accessories. She presents Period Fashion Shows, costume talks and displays for stately homes, groups and libraries. Julia specialises in the Tudor period however she will be presenting a new talk called ‘Enter the World of Jane Austen’ from July 2013. Venues include The Royal Armouries , Raby Castle, Lauriston Castle Edinburgh and Belsay Hall for English Heritage.
