I Have Worn a Period/Historical Dress

I have two!! Just received my second this morning, but can’t try it on until after work... :(

The first is this Victorian style dress, with a skirt designed to have several layers and a petticoat or hoop skirt to give volume to it. It’s a blue and grey brocade, and buttons up the front. I have added a similar color blue skirt with petticoat under it.

The newer one is a more medieval style dress, a gorgeous lavender... the color is even more gorgeous in person!

They are costumes, by the company Victorian Choice, but the make and materials are high-quality and are designed to be worn the same way as a real period dress you’d see worn by reenactors or SCA.

They are amazing though. Period wear is just so different compared to our current modern wear.

I’ve worn a Victorian period dress. The hoopskirts are a pain to move around in. But I hope you enjoy it.

@MrsKatherineArch They say you gotta practice wearing them and once you get the hang of them and used to how they work you can manipulate them quite dexterously.

Thanks! Just need to find the time and place to wear them... :D

In the meantime, get used to banging into things @TalAlyss
These are very elegant dresses.
