Recently I had this idea. This crazy idea.
What if every year for the rest of my life* I make one outfit from exactly 100 years before. The fashion history lover in me thinks this is a great idea and the seamstress in me is down to clown but my vanity is not. The reason being that I actually like my figure and the classic 1920's silhouette is, well, 2 by 4 flat.
*Or untill I live long enough that I come around to what I own already.

anyway, what is it with the early years of a century and fashion? I'm looking at you regency dress!

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • • •@valhalla well I do actually like regency fashion. It wasn't really much like the shapeless things on period dramas. Especially the court dress. What queen Charlotte insisted women wear was actually bat shit crazy, it was like wearing a table under your boobs, and I love it!
Bring genuine court dress to Bridgerton you cowards!

(no, I don't have a *valid* reason for not liking it, it's just taste)
(I agree that English court dress of the time was, indeed, *a thing*)

in reply to AnneArchy Anne • • •@Anneheathen 1905 would be early Edwardian so trumpet skirt, blouse with lace, still a poof at the top of the sleeves but no where near as big as the late Victorian.
Narrator voice: It was at this moment Bridget realised that she she knew the major elements of ever decade of fashion since 1800. Like knowing all the original Pokémon in order and the words to every song on the 90's Simpsons her brains ability to absorb useless information strikes again.
