Styles of Yesteryear

I found the article “Resident to don period clothing for Aiken anniversary” in yesterday’s paper an interesting read. A local lady has made several period outfits from 1875 to celebrate our town’s 175th anniversary. She made some interesting points about how women back then used fabric very efficiently and only replaced their dresses every 5 to 10 years. That’s definitely a contrast with today’s practically disposable fashions.

  2. Well, do stop in and say hello sometime. 🙂
