So this is a mayor inspiration post based on the breathtaking beauty of period costume.
Enjoy
Elizabeth I Queen of England 1558-1603


Rococo
Marie Antoniette-Queen of France 1774-1793




Regency Era
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen 1811
(one of my favourite books)

Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen 1813



Emma by Jane Austen 1815

Victorian Era
Queen Victoria of England 1837



Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte 1847
(another great book)


Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell 1853



of course there are more examples, but these are either some of my fave movies or books, if you haven't read them or saw them, you should, cause the histories are not only fabulous but the costume design is completely delightful and i can assure you you'll be stunned for days.

ReplyDeleteQueen Elizabeth~ Remains one of my role models to this day. Lovely look at period fashion, too
ReplyDeleteHistorical fashions are just amazing. I would love to be a re-enactor (there are a lot of groups for it in my area, for different periods), but I don't sew well enough to even begin.
ReplyDeleteYes, I too am in LOVE with historical fashion, it makes me sad that Victorian clothing is not still popular today... ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat inspiration post!
@bryanna you should <3
ReplyDelete@xarousellian mine too, she was a great queen
@fucusing the sens me too, even though i sew, the amount of fabric is huge so they are very exensive, but i cannot die without acually having one of these
@julie coenobita indeed! it would be too hot to go on the subway like that, can you imagine?
If you have time, and find it with english or spanish subtitles, try to watch "Madame bovary". Some parts are boring but she wears a black dress that is GORGEOUS!
