I have a very special treat for you this month! Renae Brock (aka @br0ck_n_r0ll on Instagram) will be joining us a special guest. Renea is a member of our Patreon community and she will be sharing a personal and historical look at Chinese fashion. As she'll show us, many well-known vintage designs (like this month's Hostess Lounge Set) are directly influenced  by Chinese garments like the cheongsam and qipao. This month's slideshow will incorporate photos of Renae's personal history with these garments, as well as a look at their historical evolution.

Renae Brock is a Southern California native with cultural roots to the Hakka People - descendants of the Han. She loves sewing vintage, playing roller derby, and imparting her wit and wisdom to 2 children.
