Hello there! I'm Bianca and here on The Closet Historian I study and recreate vintage fashions- sketching, pattern drafting, sewing, and thrifting my way to a vintage inspired wardrobe. I also occasionally attempt knitting, travel as often as I can, and make videos for YouTube, all while writing novels on the side.
