Men, held open doors for her. Women complimented her on her hat. She was the very essence of femininity and grace. Where has she gone? Would you dress like this and go out in public and not to a tea party of costume party? Why not? Isn’t fashion one or two or a small handful of designers who dictate what everyone else will wear? What if we started to make our own clothes again or had friends who sew make them or went to websites that sold them and spent our money there instead of at the local retail chain? These days, women’s clothes are poorly made and ill fitting and many styles only flatter the very young and slim.
When I put on my wedding dress almost three years ago, I did not want to take it off. I wanted to dress lovely and feminine like that everyday. I felt graceful, special, beautiful, all because of lace, tulle, and beads and big skirts that made me feel like I was floating.
What would you wear if you had someone who would design and make your own clothes? Would you dress as Marie Antoinette? Dolly Madison? A Victorian Lady. Would you dress the same as you do now?
I would love to know.
