#SpringCostumeChallenge - Instagram Historical Costuming Challenge 2024

Yay! It‘s time for #SpringCostumeChallenge – my annual historical costuming challenge that I host on my instagram account @sewhistorically_costumes! 😀

What Is #SpringCostumeChallenge?

#SpringCostumeChallenge is a month-long historical costuming challenge which I host on my instagram account @sewhistorically_costumes! #SpringCostumeChallenge starts on May 1 and ends on May 31, 2024. Every day there‘s a prompt, such as ‘favorite historical dress’ or ‘details’, and you post a photo that fits the theme. Here are the prompts of last year’s #SpringCostumeChallenge.

What‘s New This Year (2024)?

It‘s now the 7th year that I‘m hosting an instagram historical sewing & costuming challenge in spring! I host my instagram challenge since my second year on instagram – 2017 was my first year on instagram. And you may know my historical costuming instagram challenge under other names because first it was #ArtDecoApril, then #HistoricalApril and #EdwardianMay and now it’s #SpringCostumeChallenge. I changed the name of my instagram challenge because #ArtDecoApril focused on 1920s costumes and #EdwardianMay focused on Edwardian costumes. #SpringCostumeChallenge is open to all historical eras including historybounding outfits.

How Do I Participate?

Participating is really easy! To participate, post a photo or video inspired by the daily prompt. Tag #SpringCostumeChallenge and @sewhistorically_costumes in your post.

You can interpret the prompt however you like: there’s no right or wrong way. 😉 The challenge is open to all historical eras pre-1930s as well as historybounding outfits. You can share your finished costumes, work-in-progress, sewing inspirations or even something non-fashion/-sewing related. You can do as many prompts (days) as you want: all or just one. You can also join in or quit at any time. No pressure – just fun! 😁
