Edwardian Boots

Why don't they copy this style more? It looks as good as it ever did, and I love the caramel color of the leather.

Victorian Coral Jewelery

Emma Simons' Bag

Beautiful Victorian child's purse with her name done in beadwork. I love personal touches like embroidered names. It's on ebay right now for $144.

Merry X-Mas: Edwardian Blouse

Look how slouchy this Edwardian top is! I think people forget how flowy this era was.

Victorian Bathing Suit

Swimwear can tell you a lot about a culture.

Victorian Jacket, Inside and Out

I always save photos of the inside of Victorian clothes. As mentioned in the post on panniers, the internal structure of these garments is often beautiful and complex- similar to architecture in nature! And god, this jacket is cute!

Edwardian Parasol

Not that I want to go back in time because of obvious political stuff, but it is pretty painful to think that people probably once thought nothing of carrying a parasol like this. Everything was more beautiful then, it really was. Speaking of which, these photos aren't very good.
