A wonderful collection of 18th century - 1920's antique fashion and accessories for the beginning to the advanced collector. You will find items ranging from 18th century hats, regency era ballgowns, early French couture and fabulous handmade lace teagowns to wearable Victorian wedding dresses and stylish beaded flapper dresses.

All items available for sale will be appropriately cleaned if needed and have seams repaired. I believe that garments and accessories should be ready for display or wear upon receipt. As a courtesy to all my clients, every purchase is carefully wrapped in acid-free tissue. With over twelve years of experience buying, restoring and selling antique fashion, I will also be offering conservation, cleaning and restoration services upon request.

I hope you enjoy the Fashion and accessories on this website. They have been handpicked from many estates within the United States and from some of the finest markets in Europe. Trousseau is a member of the "Costume Society of America".

We have recently purchased our c. 1820 dream home and farm this along the coast of Downeast Maine. My new studio is now open to accomodate visitors by appointment.

***A very special winter update is scheduled for the end of November - beginning of December***

Thanks so much for all the well wishes from all of my dear friends and clients. We welcomed our daughter, Brynne, on November 5th. She weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces and was 21 inches long.
