Oh dear gods, craft stores with beads. Those are the places I really shouldn't enter carrying more money than I mean to spend.

I did one little doll costume once that I really liked, a baroque thing with those stays which have about the form of an ice cone and the skirst which seem to be up to two yards in breadth but luckily more or less flat if viewed from the sides. Thera are some fun images from that period where you can see women walking through doors sideways because that's the only way they can get through.

> Victorian (which is a loooong stretch of time, technically from 1834 (I think?) to 1901, although Americans tend to count Edwardian as Victorian and sometimes mid-Victorian as Civil War era. We Americans are nuts

Believe you me, after a few years of medieval re-enactment (that's like medieval fairs but with an obsession for getting historical details right) there's very little in the way of butchered period looks that can still shock me. The absolute high light was a french one. The most awesome backdrop you could imagine, because that village hadn't developed much and the old church, castle, wall and caves were all still there. A lot of visitors came dressed up, among other things in:

- whatever blouse and skirt in their dresser looked medieval to them, completed with the lace doily from the couch put onto their hair
- plasticy Disney princess costumes including crowns cut out of goldish cardboard
- baroque dresses consisting of 100% unnatural fiber
- other variations which I have successfully suppressed.
