Archduchess Sybella's photostream

My faire persona is Her Imperial Highness, Sybella Elisabeta Maria Christierna Anna Rodmilla Delia Lugmilla von Adder und Habsburg, Archduchess of Austria, Princess of Hungary, Grand Duchess of Poland and Transylvania, Duchess of Styria, Moldavia, Carinthia, Carinola, Buchovina, and Wallachia, Margravine of Moravia, Countess of the Tyrol, and Baroness of Wildflecken - fictional daughter of HIH Archduke Charles II of Styria (Father of Kaiser Ferdinand.)

I have been studying the Renaissance and its culture, clothing, and society since I was 10. I taught myself how to sew by trial-and-error after my father told me "if you want another costume, you're gonna have to make it yourself!" I started sewing by hand when I was in high school and my mom's old sewing machine decided to eat my fabric. Most of my costumes range from historically accurate to historical with a flair. I have my own costuming business at
