Miss Tabitha’s Victorian Presentations

           Sharon Guli has been designing and building historical costumes for ten years. Covering eras that range from Colonial to Rhinestone Cowboy, Sharon’s work demonstrates a flair for design, regard for authenticity, and attention to detail. She blends her backgrounds in historical re-enactment, vintage dance, and costuming with ongoing research to create garments that beautifully capture the look of each period. Sources for her work include old prints and photographs, period patterns, and close examination of vintage garments in private collections and museums. 

     The interest generated by her historical costumes led Sharon to develop a business called Miss Tabitha’s, offering a number of programs to showcase her work, ranging from solo presentations to a full-scale fashion show with multiple models featuring styles from the 1840’s to the early 1900’s. She is also an instructor of period dance and etiquette, teaching dances of the Colonial, Victorian, Pioneer and Ragtime eras. 

     Sharon has brought her historic presentations and clothing to museums, tea houses, churches, retirement and nursing homes, social clubs, and many more venues. She has also developed several unique programs especially for schools. She has shared her passion for historical clothing and dance both locally and nationally, from Chicago to Las Vegas to Atlanta. Her ongoing passion for research and authenticity and her creativity in costuming and producing new shows have enabled her to bring history alive in an entertaining while educational fashion.
