Edwardian Fashionistas

The Edward Gorey post from yesterday must really be striking a chord with me because I can't get the fashions out of my mind.  What appeals to me right now is the sense of mystery with the layers, the tactile senses of the different materials, the rich yet subtle colors and the careful presentation of the proper dress for society.  And of course, I love the woman on a bike in a long dress.  Practical!  - l.o.d.
