Saturday with the 1860's :)

I love this time period in clothing you get the huge hoop skirts that reach epic proportions, also start to see long trains and the beginning of the bustle in the late 1860's, it really is a great time in fashion, so I thought I would post a few images for today and as always real garments from the time and photos of people from then so enjoy :)


Great old photo of a lovely lady from around 1863-65.










Lovely purple silk gown with black velvet trim I would say dress dates from around 1863-65 and is in great condition
















This wonderful pale green silk taffeta with tulle trim and hook and eye closures on dress, this gown is from around 1866-67 and has a lovely long train.
