GIVE AWAY STILL IN PROGRESS

GIVE AWAY STILL IN PROGRESS:
Leave a comment and I will pick Two (2) names and you may pick an item out of my
Etsy shop
{a Bohemian Market. etsy.com} for your prize ; )
Women's dresses over the years.
Daring. Unique. Fun.

I cannot imagine some of the corset's one would have to have assistance in putting on : ) Yet the wispy waist line they aspired too was not easily done without at least 2 pairs of hands.












I love the Ancient Egyptian clothing and make up. The joyful use of colors.
Almost theatrical.

  2. I wouldn't have been a very good lady back then! I'd have been running around in shorts and a t-shirt, fighting that corset and all that other stuff.
    Your daughter is absolutely gorgeous. I know you are proud!

    I've been taking care of my mama too :)

  3. Imagine all those many little buttons that had to be done up or the ribbons that had to be yanked those corsets looked like they were very tight an hour glass figure was a must back then.Hugs Darcy
