I would like to extend my photo gallery to include as many photos as possible.  If you would like to see photos of your gowns/underpinnings on this site along with mine, please e-mail me: clare.kirkpatrick@orange.net and attach scanned photos (in JPEG format please) along with an annotation.  If you have no access to a scanner, e-mail me and I will let you know where you can send photos.  If you include an addressed envelope and a postal order for the postage cost, I will even return them to you once they're on the site!

    My name is Clare Kirkpatrick.  I am a 22 year old student nurse studying near London.  I became interested in costuming after meeting my friend, Bess Chilver, over the internet who has been doing it for some years and is very experienced.  I am planning on joining the Kentwell re-enactments in which she already takes part.  Everything there has to be authentic which is why I do so much research.  Many thanks to my lovely husband, Sven, who took all the photos except Bess's ones.
