Victorian Day at school - why be yet another house maid? Here you can see velvet, satin and lace in an 'Alexanda' taille [TL01], 'Emily' bustle skirt [SK14] and 'Florence' day cap [HT03]. She is also wearing a cameo neck band [NL01] and carrying a small velvet bag [BG02]. |
Straight from the Victoria and Albert Museum's exhibition of 1950s couture cames this sunny 'Lynn' dress[DR07]. To give the right profile, it is worn with two net petticoats [PC08 & 9]. |
Re-enactment quality Elizabethan kirtle [DR03], smock [SM03] and coif [CF09]. This outfit is almost identical to one worn by a servant who smuggled messages to Queen Mary in the film 'Elizabeth'. |
Sergeant's formal mess suit [ST03], tailored in Savile Row, no less! |

Ellie at her village's Mayday celebrations. She is wearing 'Bertha' Victorian smock dress (DR04) and matching petticoat(PC07). |
Chris is wearing a Bavarian dirndle outfit. Here you can see the 'Anni' button-front bodice (BD09) and 'Alyda' cropped white blouse (BL08). |
Lily is wearing a back-laced bodice (BD08) that is rather too big for her, and a drawstring skirt (SK07) that's rather too long. |
This is Joshua (or it could be his twin, Matthew) wearing a chaperon hood (HD03) that's a bit too big for him! This is the orgin of the Dead Chicken Hat. |
