Fashion History

Authentic, original pieces of clothing and accessories—mainly feminine—from the 18th through the early-20th (1900–19) centuries. ·Everything is split into sections according to fashion time period, which is often somewhat misaligned to monarchial time period· I've included as much historically accurate information about each piece as I can possibly track down in •my• titles/descriptions. However, Pinterest no longer operates as it once did and now often omits my info. Sorry!
