Clothing Away From Home and Video



Greetings from The Manse. This is my view today, and in keeping with that scenery, I am continuing with a talk about clothing. I will move on to other subjects integral to the home, in due time.


I read more about clothing from these two books and I showed this picture to illustrate a good way to make a non-fancy dress look more formal and put together by adding a coat. These are easily found in clothing stores and not expensive, as they are not designed to be traditional coats but made of thinner fabrics. They make you look more feminine even if you do not wear dresses or skirts, or if you are hesitant to wear longer skirts.



This is my collection of wardrobe planning for the home.

The blouse and skirt I wore today is cotton and purchased at the Walmart. It would have been nice if the store had it in other colors.  In a future post I will show you how I machine sewed it to fit me better and raise the neckline.


To make home clothing suitable for going places, just add a jacket, as you see here.


For a more formal look, try scarves and shawls:





You can do a search for aprons that cover the blouse as well as the skirt. There are some very nice ones out there.  Someone made this one for me.



That is all from The Manse today.

I hope you enjoy listening while you work at home. I make these videos for my descendants, who one day may want to know how to cope with the crazy fashions of the future, just to give them a glimmer of light.
View from my Regency walk this morning. 

Please enjoy moving about your home while you listen today:
