Sandra G. Pettinger
I've been costuming since 1981 with my husband, Pierre Pettinger. We have since run masquerades, judged masquerades, and won many awards, including 4 Worldcon Best in Shows. We were awarded the International Costumers' Guild (ICG) Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000. I also was Corresponding Secretary of the ICG for 2 years.
