Such lovely gowns! It's a shame how fashion has become lately. It's hard to find nice clothes.
ReplyDeleteI just watched 'The Young Victoria' and am not quite enamored with the fashion of the era.
ReplyDeleteElegance,
ReplyDeleteI agree. Would be nice if modern styles provided more choice including some of the classiness of styles of years ago.
Audrey,
Really? I loved the dresses in Young Victoria! I hope you still enjoyed the film even though you didn't appreciate the fashion.
