the eighteenth century (a guest post by ashlyn)
August 09, 2011I love reading-writing-studying-and when I was a little bit younger,
playing- the eighteenth century. The Victorian Era. Mostly
practiced in the South. The age of...
Black Silk was very popular. Today- well- I wouldn't wear this dress
to my funeral. Let's forget this and go back to the more beautiful
things, ok?
pathways, paved brick, where young men and young ladies could
walk.

Grant it, the "in" color back then (1840-1870's) was black.
Patterned after Queen Victoria, this was the color.Black Silk was very popular. Today- well- I wouldn't wear this dress
to my funeral. Let's forget this and go back to the more beautiful
things, ok?

The age of beautiful:
Rich, elaborate homes complete with full gardens. Oak trees stood,
tall and straight, for years, shading the green lawn. Longpathways, paved brick, where young men and young ladies could
walk.
As for clothing, complex, handsome, made of the finest material.
For women and ladies, it was silk, point lace, muslin, yard after
yard. Petticoats and very large hoop skirts.I love this time period. Where women were ladies.

Just for one day, maybe live it.
But it's past, and you can only dream.

ReplyDeleteLong live the 1800s with all its ball gowns, hairstyles, classical music, old houses and GORGEOUS handwriting! It's my favourite era, especially the 1800s in England.
