For the first time in nearly 100 years, dresses were really feminine and were long--really long, much longer than the 50's.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-73293583249184403612009-02-05T20:11:00.000-08:002009-02-05T20:11:00.000-08:00Wow that is so nice.

Granted there were some bad styles back then they had more options for feminine dress than today. I am crazy about the Granny dresses of the 70's, the Laura Ashley dresses, and many 80's styles like your picture. We generally think of the 50's as the model of feminity. The 50's were feminine but the dresses on the the Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-13513444029477081082009-02-05T12:23:00.000-08:002009-02-05T12:23:00.000-08:00Ph, do you remember when clothing designers used t...Ph, do you remember when clothing designers used to make feminine looking clothing?!

It makes me want to sew some of these. The look isn't just Victorian- it's forever feminine and always will be. Thanks for this post. I think we all need a few of these outfits.
