We are thrilled to announce the first series of CEV Films, LLC. Who Wore What? based on the acclaimed research book of Juanita Leisch. The series will be hosted by Emily Lapisardi, who is the owner of Rue De La Paix Productions, the leading producer of Civil War reproduction fans and is well known as a living historian for her portrayals of Confederate spy Rose Greenhow. A list of the 8 episodes are posted below.
About Who Wore What
Very popular among reenactors, this book explains what was worn, by whom, and in what combinations during the American Civil War. With more than 300 photographs, it provides invaluable information on the dress styles and designs of women's clothing in the 19th century. It also includes descriptions of accessories and construction tips for those involved with reenactments and living history. Now in use extensively in the Hollywood film industry.
