Serena has been studying historical costume since 1999, developing her knowledge through reproduction and recreation. She has spent time in the Textiles department at Christie's, as well as with the Snowshill Costume collection. She is currently working towards a BA in History and History of Art, which she hopes to develop into an MA in Fashion History. Her voluntary work with the National Trust has led to the development of her historical interpretation skills, which she now does regularly at Wimpole Hall, appearing as various characters from the Hall's history. Her skills as a performer have also been developed through her acting, where she has appeared in roles such as Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Lucy in Alan Ayckbourn's Confussions and Irena in Chekhov's Three Sisters. Serena also writes for the online costume maker's companion, Your Wardrobe Unlock'd, linked below.
