Less talky more pretty!
Sorry for another “talky” post, but I also wanted to say that I’m going to be using the Facebook page for more than just posting fashion plates.  For example, I just posted the link to a new Colonial Williamsburg costume exhibit that is gorgeous.  I really want to keep the tumblr to fashion plates only.  DISCIPLINE!  So, if you want to see other stuff that I might find, head on...

*shakes fist*
A thousand curses to museums who make it impossible to save large versions of the fashion plates they have in their collections.  Especially when they have HUNDREDS of 18th century ones…I’m looking at you Boston MFA!
