If you have a signature color or already own a dress you love, feel free to wear that
Looking back with a modern eye, where a finished garment (most likely produced in a developing nation by poorly paid workers) can be purchased from a store at a fraction of the price of its cloth, it is a challenge to put yourself in the place of that rural woman with several family members to clothe, but no budget for store bought clothing or new yard goods to sew these garments at home
For many women, the sweet spot is a mix of classic and trendy: silhouettes that honor modesty with longer sleeves and hemlines, but in colors and fabrics that feel current
Whether youre dressing up for Halloween, cosplay, a theater production, or just for fun, womens fashion in the 1800s is a great choice
