Hello! I’m Denise, and I create designs and teach classes under my business name, Romantic Recollections.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I learned to crochet when I was 3 and have worked on textile-related crafts ever since. As a child, I collected fashion paper dolls and read books like Anne of Green Gables, so it’s no surprise I spent a lot of time daydreaming about puffed sleeves and ball gowns. Eventually that led to the world of historical costuming and on to an Apparel Design degree before starting my business. I’ve dabbled in making just about everything related to historic fashions - dresses, millinery, and underpinnings, as well as embroidery, laces, and trims. I haven’t made it down to shoes yet, but there is still time!
