Some days...

I'm pretty sure I was born in the wrong era. I found this site, and it just makes me want to do grabby hands!  I love most of the stuff on there, and if I had more money, and wouldn't be considered a loon, I would totally by some of these dresses!

They're all handmade, and gorgeous!  And they have chemises!  And pantaloons!  And skirts!  They have jewelry and bodices and blouses!  Seriously, I love those dresses, and if I thought I could get away with it, I would totally wear them.  

Sigh.

The costumes are beautiful....but having worn period correct costumes from the 1500's on, I am thankful not to have to wear them every day. The corsets, the hoops,etc, are not much fun on a day after day basis.

Oh, I wouldn't want to wear it every day! But some of those outfits just look lovely and flattering, and I think it's a shame that dressing elegantly is a lost art!
