Want to play a rousing game of spot that outfit in How to Marry a Werewolf, Fashionable Reader?
I feature a number of fashionable items from the historical record in this one. It was fun for me to research and to write.
On Faith…
 |
| Walking suit, American, circa 1890-95. Wool, silk taffeta. Mint Museum |
 |
| 1890 ca. Boater Hat English Straw, silk, by Lincoln Bennett and Company’s Hats. museumofcostume.co.uk |
