I love a good robe a la france! They are beautiful gowns! And what they did with their hair could put Lady Gaga to shame. google it some time!
The French revolution was one of my favorite subjects to study in high school!

xo
yes, its beautiful
although I dont think Id like to wear it myself :S
the headpiece looks heavy
I am often bothered that I was not alive then.
the fashion of that era has its ups and downs, I love some of the styles and tend to take some of them with me to the ren faire. There are many styles =)
love, love, LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!! The Baroque/Georgian(British)-Colonial(American) period was so classy and romantic.
yesyesyesyesyesyesyes!!YES! <3
i wish i could dress like that everyday
Oh my god, this is amazing. The first picture made me speechless!
This style is so simple yet elegant. it's wonderful.
Pretty to look at other than that...I don't know.
yes <3 i, too, wish i could wear that every day! i imagine it would be extremely painful, though. /:
I like the first picture. It'd be a very fashionable twist on the superhero eye mask.
I love it. It's so beautiful. Classy and sophisticated and so victorian!
I wish i could wear it everyday, sigh.
Yes! I wish I could dress like that! Beautiful and classy :)
Gorgeous.
Yes.
I love "victorian" inspired clothing
very much yes.
love it! beautiful post! A+
and now i want to watch that movie...
It's too fussy for my tastes. It must be hot under all of those layers. It's pretty and all but not my cup of tea.
it's so elegant!
I enjoy the dresses, but that classical style has always appealed to me even in it's stuffiness. I don't, on the other hand, enjoy the hairstyles. They make me cringe when I see them.
I wish I lived in such a time.

(Well, as long as I didn't live in France
