Dark Shadows in the 18th Century: costumes





I am really going to miss the 18th century when they go back to the boring old 20th. i think the period costumes are quite accurate. 

When Millicent & Ruby Tate wore short sleeves, I wondered if women did that in those days, & i learned that they did. Compare the costumes of Naomi & Milicent to see what was old school & what was the latest thing in 1795. 

Short sleeves, high waist emphasizing the bust, & natural, unboned bodice were the mini skirts & go-go boots of their day.
