breathing is a very underrated thing!

There are things about numerous times in fashion that I love. However, I do love the look of the old peasant style Mexican attire. Peasant blouses, flowing skirts, sandals. Now that's my kind of dressing.

The Edwardian era is my absolute favourite! I am trying to hunt down a photographer that will do a photoshoot with us dressed in Edwardian outfits. The 20s were also amazing. Flapper girls, the hats and cigarette holders!! Soooo elegant

What era were the fashions based on for the movie "Hero"? I think it was the Xin dynasty. Those styles for women were quite nice. However some of the fashion of the Qing dynasty looked appealing as well.

The Jane Austin era kinda freaks me out as people didn't bathe all that much in England and wore fabrics that did not allow for much ventilation for the skin. Rashes and other skin infections must have been rampant.

i love 1930s corsets aren't that heavy and its elegant without the austerity of the war years
