robinsnestSo there's a long list of things I SHOULD be doing...(Cleaning up apt from recent sewing explosion, laundry, dishes, etsy things etc) and even before Christmas I have to make a ren faire dress. But then I started chatting with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
madamkat and I got all excited about what I was going to wear on our possible Victorian outing in December (I also blame the fact I spent Friday stocking Christmas ornaments, which must mean December is almost here...)
So She said the exhibit will probably be 1880s to 1920s, I have a lovely 1904 outfit (the blouse of a 100 pintucks) that I could wear, OR I could wear one of my cool 1920's dresses,and I even have a fur trimmed vintage coat that would go with those...but that just doesn't' sound fun right now!madamkat got me all excited about the idea of Winter wear! With of course a matching Muff!
So I'm thinking 1885-7 ish, I mean right now that's a big-ish. I found some lovely pictures of winter things and that's just from internet trolling. I haven't delved into my books yet.
First up we've got these selections from Strawbridges and Clothier's 1885-6 Winter Catalog. I am especially fond of the bottom Left corner and Bottom center. I'm picturing a lovely dark blue velveteen with black lambswool trim. and of course the muff!
If I was feeling REALLY ambitious This Gorgeous outfit at the MET which has a matching coat. sooo pretty
Which is really quite lovely. But if I could find the right fabric is basically a nicely tailored dress with gorgeous trim down the sides. Which I have to say is totally doable.
Ponder...ponder...ponder...
