Analyzing Wives & Daughters Episode 1, The Art of Dress, and More



Greetings and thank you for viewing and listening today. I'm honored that you are here and I hope it is edifying. 

I have been on my "Regency Walk" and found this photo opportunity:

I talked today about the first part of the book Wives & Daughters, along with the first episode, which might aptly describe things that still occur.

I also read more from "The Lost Art of Dress" in which was described the difference that took place in a woman's life regarding clothing.

What I wore today:

With bolero-jacket





From this pattern:





With apron:


A zippered bag from a sheet set works well to corral the pieces of sewing projects:


This is also the pattern I used for the dress, adding different sleeves from another pattern.


 
I hope you enjoy the broadcast while you rest or work at home.

Greetings from cool (at long last) Brisbane!!
I just love listening to your wise words and Christian counselling lovely Lydia.
Every time I watch your vlogs I sit and think.... how lucky your family is to have you and the wisdom and kindness you impart to them. You are very special indeed.
I had a dear friend, who you remind me so much of... sadly she passed away a few years ago... I miss her talks and teachings so much....
Have a wonderful weekend and look forward to your next class! xx Flossy

Dear Lydia Ruth,

Your videos always refresh my spirit and edify my walk with the Lord in my home. I enjoyed viewing Wives and Daughters from the links you provided in a previous video. I watched each one over about the span of a week. Excellent! I also love seeing your timeless, classic wardrobe. I, too, avoid the trendy clothes and stick with what I like. Some might think my dresses are old fashioned, but I feel feminine and pretty while wearing them. When I run errands, most of my dresses pair well with a matching denim jacket. I know, by experience, how different I work and perform when I dress with dignity and respect for my home and for those around me. It usually elevates my mood as well. I am so very thankful to be encouraged and supported about this subject of dressing for the home, Lydia. I should mention, too, about an event in our lives that left us struggling financially. It was the only time in our 44 years of marriage that I considered outside employment. Long story short, my husband saw the job application I had gotten setting on the table and quickly crumpled it up into a tiny ball and threw it in the garbage! Wow! My worth and value as a wife, mother, and homemaker soared exponentially!! Yes, God is good and He provides all that we need when we take Him at His word! I am truly privileged and ever thankful to be at home.😊❤️

Blessings,
❤️Holly

Great Testimony. It’s huge. Lesson for young men, too, if they could see it. Today even the older men would welcome the wife getting extra jobs.
