About Me

Deborah Lough
I'm a historical costumer (and I design modern clothes too). I was taught to sew by my Nana, before I could read (which means sometime around the age of 3 - more than 30 years ago now - yikes!). She wanted to distract me from sticking my fingers into the electrical sockets to see what would happen. Now I divide my time between making clothing for museums and tv, and for re-enactors, as well as more modern clothes for weddings and proms (and occasionally even for myself).
