A Trip Down Memory Lane
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.
Titanic Pattern Resources
So many people have asked me to recommend patterns which could be used for "Titanic" gowns, so I've gathered that info together and placed it on this page. A few of the patterns featured on here are not specifically copies of "Titanic" gowns, but they will work if you are willing to do some alterations or make some additions to them.
Original Photos of the Actual Titanic Costumes
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!
