Making an 18th Century version of the Scarlet Witch featuring the Riding Habit

Hello lovelies!

It has been a very long time since I made a blog post, but I am here to compile all of the 18th Century Scarlet Witch information into one space.

To start out, I sketched this costume back in October of last year and I sat down with my good friend Jedimanda to discuss the design choices I made for this costume.
