Join us for a fashion forward lead up to the Beaux Arts Ball! For those of you who are interested in getting inspired or having a hand in designing your look for the event, book an individual consultation with local costume designer, Jennifer Kirschman. If you have a dress or a suit (or other garment) in your closet that you feel meets your 1900s fashion dream for the Beaux Arts Ball, but just aren't sure where to start, let us help! Sign up for a one-on-one consultation and strategize about how to accessorize, alter and embellish your way to a more sustainable yet stunning look!

Attendees will bring the garment they want to turn into a Beaux Arts beauty! We will have male and female mannequins on which to drape your piece. With provided pins, trims, accessories and other accoutrement, we will work together to see how best to turn your vision into a reality. You will leave knowing what type of accessories might be needed and where to source them locally, as well as, if tailoring will be needed or simple costuming tricks can be employed to complete the look. If you still need your costume perfected afterwards, you can take your final products home, to a tailor of your choice, or work direclty with Jennifer to complete the look for $65/hour.
