Good morning sweet friends.
Whilst Bob and I were strolling through
Greenfield Village,
we literally stumbled upon
this awesome private collection
of Civil War Era gowns.
Circa 1861 to 1865.
It was not on our map of things to see.
I was awestruck at these beauties.
So many colors and early fabrics.
From calico's to satins.
A wedding gown...
To party gowns.
Then there are the every day ones.
So much detail in these beauties!
I did not count them all,
but guessing at least a hundred.
What an awesome collection.
What do you think?
Apparel Blessings To All!

I often wonder what it would have been like to always wear gowns like that.

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen these and I am only 10 minutes away at most. I hope they will still be there as soon as it cools off.
