It's indeed pure terror. I used to have sleep paralysis very often. It's better now, but that was so horrifying that I became terrified of going to sleep.

We really should! I've even been thinking of pinning one to my bag as I already get stared at quite often sometimes because of my somewhat odd clothing. 😅

5/5 Their clothes were made to last, they were mended, and fabrics were repurposed. I think the idea of treating garments as disposable would have seemed very bizarre to them, and hopefully, that mindset will return.

4/5 Probably going off on a tangent here, but I do wonder what they would have thought of today's fast fashion culture. Seams coming apart after a few washes? Clothes worn once and then discarded? There are so many more issues here, but I'll keep the tangent brief.

3/5 Must have been very impractical in a lot of situations, but as long as there are no hats with whole birds on them involved (Victorian trend), these hats are definitely worth it! :-)

2/5 These were laws many women vehemently disagreed with.
Pictured is Lily Elsie who starred in the operetta The Merry Widow and The Merry Widow hat quickly became a craze.

It's very creepy, especially as I tend to shiver quite frequently.

No idea. Care to go to the pond and find out?

That's totally understandable. The world has never really been a nice place, and it sure isn't now.

That's so true, and I have always really felt for Cassandra. It's a terrible curse.
