  1. Lovely...just right up my alley!
    Its so interesting how these fashions changed towards the end of the Victorian period; From the austere to the more aesthetic Edwardians.

  2. They are lovely but I can see why the Rational Dress Society achieved some sucess, particularly with cyclists.

  3. My wife will be going to a Victorian-themed party next month and she already knows what sort of style she'll wear. She'll be one of these women of royalty who are usually patrons of chamber music. She already got herself some New Born Free wigs which are perfectly paired with her dress. Gotta need her to read the link you've shared!
