"You Should See My Coattails Flying As I Swing My Partner 'Round..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

I don't know if it is possible to express with mere words how much I want this shirt. It's the kind of shirt I've been looking out for in shops for impossible ages. Look at the sleeves. How can you see those sleeves and not feel a wave of desire? And the ruffle is just perfect. Augh.

Also, here are likewise dresses.

*longs*

Coool. That truly is a very very nice shirt. I'm questing for knickers, though.

Are those sleeves truly in style for the LM period? I always thought they were more... close-fitting...

... I like this dress: http://www.allthingsrenaissance.com/dresses/wench_dress.html (too stupid to make a link, sorry!)

Mmph. Yes.

I was under the impression, due to Chatterton, that the wide sleeves were appropriate. >_> Could be wrong, though, as jackets were also in fashion, and God knows it would be hard to get a jacket over sleeves that big.

That's what I thought, too. That was basically the period when it was the height of indecency to go out (if you were a man) without a jacket, so I don't think people cared too much about making their sleeves fancy. But I'm not positive.

Right, you're quite right. *pauses* Oh well. The fancy sleeves are cool, and as long as neither of us are positive, I'll go on with them. :)

I want knickers if you ever find any.
