Why nobody posts photographs dressed in beautiful S.Belle or Civil War dresses?

Cracking me up again Karran
And because they cost a fortune!
An ol' movie told me that sort of style is Gone With the Wind.
I would love to have a bunch of dresses like that. I can't think of anything more sensual!

It's not wrong... but it is forbidden!
Ertn,
Here in SE Mo. we have and oldtime day every year, there is a lady who will fit you and make one for you BMG does it cost.
Every time that I put a dress on, there is a southern belle in a dress.
Could you imagine how much closet space you would need to accomodate those fashions. Although I have a walkin closet I dont believe I would be able to accomodate them.

I would think that for most of the ladies here dressing is a hidden activity. A hoop skirt is hard to hide. And I also think that most ladies here dress to pass. But I'm also sure that most would love to try one. Dear Raili you should post your own pix. Get the ball rolling.
Ouch!! No fair having the too quick wit!
When writing the next chapter in your life, start with a pencil and eraser - my first page as Miki is full of eraser marks.
I would love to try one on at least once before I die, but the cost will probably not allow it to happen. Some day for Halloween maybe.
I know enough to know I don't know enough.
Peace
I have a princess style hoop and petticoat wedding dress.
It takes a LOT of closet space, hard to get through doors, too much floorspace taken up in a small room and I ride home in the back of a van when I give it an outing.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
Regarding Carrie's reference tro "GWTW"...... do any of you remember the skit by Carol Burnett and Co, wherein she emerges down the staircase to Harvey Corman.... and is wearing drapes, with a drapery rod over her shoulders.... and she sez, "Oh, this old thing.... I saw it in the window and couldn't resist it......."?????
Karen you really do crack me up!
Hi Raili and welcome to CD. I love the style of dresses you talk about. They are incredibly pretty, but as has all ready been eluded to, they take up a lot of space. I have some prom dresses that are of a similar style and I have problems with storage. If you have some pics please feel free to share!

Cause I for one would never fit into one
I get kidded once in awhile about liking the styles of the 1960's, let alone the 1860's. I think the dresses are great for Reenactors and period parties. They are not very practical for ordinary daily wear.
Raili, if that's your thing why don't you post some pictures? I think one reason most people don't get those types of dresses is where would you buy them?
Karen, I have to keep telling myself not to read your posts. I just had some minor surgery and nearly tore my stitches when I read your reply to Raili. Lol
you can buy them on eBay
you can buy them on eBay starting at $70
thay start at $70 on ebay
