I decided to have this as a place to keep all the dresses and gowns or other extant pieces I like in one place. I don't repost the same thing over an over, only new to us items here! I'm also trying to steer clear of museums altogether because anyone can look up the pictures on those. I want to include pieces only in private collections since those are the ones the rest of us rarely get to see. However, if it's a relatively small museum or one not well known to the American/Canadian public, I might post it.
Feel free to say hi!

Yet another new way to post. Posting multiples was getting too cumbersome. Instead, the link will take you to the main page of the blog. You’ll see all the new posts. I know this is annoying for those that come directly to the blog through tumblr but it should help boost the amount of times I *can* post.
