      I’ve always wanted to go to a reenactment! I have a feeling I’d be right at home in Colonial Williamsburg… I’d even wear...

  • The 18th century in fashion:

    The fragments that are left to us in paintings and antiques, how we view it in film and popular culture and anything else that catches my eye.

    Three cheers for unravelling!
    There is no fun without it,
    This important work
    Drives away boredom.
    While you rend
    Ribbons and borders,
    You can also gossip
    And rend people.

    -Mme du Deffand about a pastime of the late 18th century French upperclass
