ahh, that's the one I posted under Napoleonic empire style, but it is not showing up!

It's beautiful isn't it? One of my favourite periods...

i love the 20's. awesome.

 

[As You Like It]

1890s for a while, then 1930s. I wear both eras well, because of the shoulder emphasis. I have wide shoulders, but an overall slender build. I've modelled dresses from both eras and know I can wear it well.

I already do quite a bit of 1950s, 60s and 70s vintage in my daily wear. Some 1940s or 1940s-retro, as well.

I think I will wear this crown today...

 

[twilight fairy]

1940's and 1950's

i also love tutu skirts, ballet shoes, corsettes..fairy themed things.

thankyou so much for that link I'd been to that site before, but I completely forgot the address and couldn't find it again, you made my day

lately I've been liking the cuts and materials from Georgian England - oddly enough, more in men's fashion than women's. If a designer today took inspiration from that period I think they'd come up with an amazing collection - either for women or men

You're hugely welcome, what a wonderful thing to be able to do! Also, thanks for reminding me of this topic, it's one of my favourites.
For today-

This dress is also awfully nice, by Sargent...

I'd love to wear something very 1930's Hollywood, debonaire, chic......can't find any pictures though. I'm thinking, tailored suit, single breasted, mabye in ivory with strong shoulders, a wide leg trouser , monochrome vest and shirt, first few buttons un-done, ivory and brown wingtip shoes, slicked hair and a cigarette.....

 

[Puccipatterned]

The sixties in London!!!

The 20's in Paris and the 70's in Goa(India) would be fantastic too!
