I plan to stop caring what people think about my clothes when I turn 50. My children can divide their lives into the eras of “Before Mama went bats” and “After Mama went bats.”
What I really wanted to share with you was a gal who designs and sews her own era specific clothes, but I couldn’t find it. She ran the gamut from Regency to Medieval.
I liked a lot of her stuff. I’m not a fan of most modern clothing. It’s not made for women, but for women-haters. It is rarely complimentary and mostly slutty. I think women’s fashion entered a cyclical depression starting with the tube top and we won’t be out of it until normal women take back the fashion industry.
I’ve seen hundreds of prom dresses and, even for the youngest most beautiful bodies, they’re unflattering. Showing less is more. I’m hoping that we’ve hit the nadir for women’s fashion and that things are beginning to look up, then a new “fashion” takes hold that just “uglifies” womanhood. Good luck with your fashion change. Do you sew your own clothes?
