@littleblossomdarling: Replying to @_kilo_charlie_ examples start at :38 plenty of summer dresses were also made up in styles similar to the winter dresses, just with slimmer or shorter sleeves in plain cotton prints petticoats are breezy and there’s lots of space under them for excellent air flow ! in the heat once your chemise is damp under your clothes you are wonderfully air cooled and while it’s still hot (a “if you’re i’m hot” sort of thing) it’s not any worse than being fully dressed in the summer now. and more fun to wear! #historicalfashion #fashionhistory #corset
