Fashion in the 1800s

How cool is this*? I love this period of history. It's interesting to see how the fashion changes, and then think about the events going on during these times. The French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, the American Civil War. Such a busy century!



*I should specify that I didn't draw this. I saw it posted somewhere and loved it, but I don't know where it comes from or who to give credit to. If you know, please add a comment telling me so that I can give the artist/historian the credit. Thanks!

Beautiful! I would love to help costume an 1880's show. And an Elizabethan show. Maybe an 1860's show if we could rent all the hoop skirts. :)

Sometimes I think it would be fun to dress like that, and other times I really enjoy the freedoms our clothes today give us!
