I got an email last week from someone who had run across my site while searching Pinterest for “Titanic” costumes. She stumbled upon my 1998 “‘Titanic’ Project” and clicked through, excited to see the photo diary. Alas, all but one of the photos were missing. Instead of clicking away, she took the time to email me and ask what had happened to that blog post.

Back in early 1998, the J. Peterman company bought dozens of original costumes from "Titanic." They created their own line of reproductions for purchase, but they also sold the originals to private collectors around the world. I am tickled pink to be able to share the pictures on this page, courtesy of the collectors who bought the original "jump" dress and pink "sinking" coat from Peterman!

The girls send along updates from their experience with prom, being featured in the news, and more! Update includes several photos and news clippings.

What do you get when you cross great film costumes with two high school seniors possessing exquisite taste in clothing? The answer is a challenging dressmaking project which will thoroughly involve the seamstress and keep her on her toes!
