Custom pieces, historical design & tailoring crafted in New Brunswick. Beautifully reimagined Bernadette Fowler, of Cumberland Corner Fashion Designs, first started sewing and designing clothing when she was a young girl. This developed into a love of all things historical especially the clothing and the process in its construction. The love of historical fashion design was a rabbit hole that Bern
adette never would have guessed she would have gone down and it has led to many trails from working with historical sights, museums, historical reenactors and the general public. With an education in Business Management and Fashion Design and a love for history, it was a natural “fit”. Bernadette is an advocate for educating young people in business. She has given presentations in schools on running a small business. Cumberland Corner’s specialty is historical clothing reproduction but also putting a historical twist on a modern cut. In addition to alterations and repairs, we like to find new uses for old fabrics such as making coats from grandma’s quilt, bags from old jeans and Christmas balls from scraps of fabric.
