I love to read historical fiction (both for adults and young adults) and I try to imagine how they must have dressed, but this made those gown descriptions come to life. And I enjoyed your commentary immensely, too.Caryn Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338655819410392107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-83858055948877879642011-12-07T02:51:35.107-05:002011-12-07T02:51:35.107-05:00The morning dress and court dress are a little too...The morning dress and court dress are a little too elaborate for me and some of those head-dresses are way too ott.<br /><br />I like the other dresses though, very elegant.Beebshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358906613973814461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-42789805261130829742011-12-06T22:51:56.784-05:002011-12-06T22:51:56.784-05:00The stays do change shape as the waistlines fall, ...The stays do change shape as the waistlines fall, in order to provide the proper outline. Chemises don't really change, but as the skirts get larger, more petticoats are required to give them their shape.

I admit I don't know much about historical fashion, but I see this as an in-between phase from late 1700s to mid 1800s fashion, it seems to encompass both spectrums with the high waists and little sleeves. <br /><br />I saw a great exhibit at the Chicago History Museum about wedding fashion through the years. One regret I have is not visiting the Fashion Museum in Bath (England) - didn't have enough time :/Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.com
