A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
Hi, there! My name is Polly Bland and I am a costume designer, independent fashion designer, a fashion stylist, artist, blogger, hand crafter, vintage collector, and lover of fashion from the victorian era especially. I am very close to my family and I share old photos of them regularly. I am attending the University of Illinois where I am working toward my degree in costume design for theatre. I am listed on IMDB and I've costume designed 4 short films, a music video, numerous fashion photo shoots, and I take all of my own photos. Have a look at my wardrobe archive to find out more about my personal style, if you fancy! My dreams are many, but among the many are owning a vintage boutique and costume designing films for directors whom I truly admire.
