Lovely Lady's in Beautiful & Romantic Historic dresses costumes of the day 1700's & 1800's

Hi everyone! As promised here are several pictures of old paintings.  All so romantic, feminine and gentile women. Just think of the work to make and maintain these beautiful dresses. One reason I had collected these picture was for reference. At one time I was making historical costumes for Felicity the American Girl or Pleasant Company doll. But now just enjoy them.
 I just found two of the prettiest blogs!! one is carol anne boutique and feathers and flight . I feel quite shabby now!!!

Hope you enjoy these masterpiece images, Louise

Almost up to my 100th image and this blog is only a few weeks old!!

   Time is just flying by. It is already Sunday! My house is a creative  mess. There are buttons and old photos every where. I delivered a bunch of buttons to the Legacy today so be sure to go in Monday morning. The button section in the store is coming together. The new batch I picked up for sorting and pricing is full of vintage buttons, my favorites.

I think you will love these new photos.
