Hello everyone! So I’ve realized as I’ve been working on my Fashion Collection How-To tutorials, I’ve been growing my resource list. Of course I’ll still continue to put them at the end of each How-To, but I figured it would be good to start creating a grand list to come back and edit. It’s a little easier for people to find pertinent info rather than having to sift through the entire how-to in order to get to the resource list.
I’m not certain yet, but I’m sure I’ll create several resource lists for different occasions (like, costuming/cosplay may have other, more relevant links than say this Fashion Designer list).
If you come across this blog in your searches and notice that I’m lacking a really good source, please feel free to email me at crimsonstaremporium@gmail.com and I would absolutely love to add it to this list! 🙂
