Even tho I collect as much as I can I have never dressed like this ( an occassional fancy dress party besides) as I knew it wasnt my era and am often envious (in a good way) on how great they look and how each of them know where they belong ine their sense of themselves and the era/s they adore.
Anyway for ages now I have been wondering what would I be most comfortable wearing what attracts me the most what gets my goosbumps moving well really what era is really for me?
And at last I have finally come to the conclusion that the Victorian era is 100% for me.From the beautiful hairstyles right down to the boots its exactly what I am most comfortable with.I LOVE and have always loved (even as a child) watching any movies where they are wearing that style like in many of the old westerns and musicals like Hello Dolly and My Fair Lady.
Oh and I mustnt forget Titanic (who could forget that one) and the Pirate movies (yes a bit before Victorian) but still up my alley.
This style has always made me want to be a part of it and after after visiting a great place called Steampunk Empire It was like a revelation (I saw the Light) of course my era is the Victorian one.
So now I am seriously thinking that I need to join a theatrical society or something where I can learn and help to create these type of costumes.I have always wished I had gotten involved in theatrical designs and now I am getting Old/er I think its about time to put my creative force in that direction.
I will always love other eras and will continue collecting but to be able to integrate Victorian fashions into a modern twist is where I will be heading.Dont get me wrong I wont be garbing myself in bustles and huge hats to go shopping lol but taking some of the style is what I will aim to do wether its a vintage looking jacket or lace up boots (which I have some of) thats where I shall be.
BTW if you havnet seen any or all of the above movies you so need to (tissues a must for Titanic)
