Thank you so for taking the time to leave a comment. I enjoy reading them very much and always try to return a visit. As I do monitor comments it may take a while for them to appear, even quite late depending on what is going on and how much time I am able to spend on the computer.

Wow, the plantation was worth visiting! Don't know which one to choose - they're each so different! Many thanks for sharing this with SEASONS this week! I love it! "See: you back on Friday!
ReplyDeleteLovely dresses! They weren't at Oatlands when I was there a year ago.
ReplyDeleteThe dresses were so beautiful in that era, and women's waists were so slender!
ReplyDeleteWOW! These are fantastic adn look how small their waists were!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like one was for a party, and one was a house dress. The party dress would really hide big hips! Leesburg is kinda close to us!
ReplyDeleteLovely - but they don't look comfortable.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would love those big dresses with petticoats.
ReplyDeleteGreat find. Pretty treasures. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteAren't these lovely to look at? But can you imagine how hot it would have been to wear them in the summer with no air conditioning? Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/05/american-tobacco-campus-durham-nc.html
Lovely dresses, but I would have hated being a seamstress in those days.
ReplyDeleteLindo e belos vestidos.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
these old dresses are amazing to see and i like to see them, and while i look i say thank you thank you that i don't have to wear them..
ReplyDeleteImagine wearing these on a hot Virginia summer day! Styles sure have changed. Thanks for sharing and please stop back again.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dresses. I can just imagine they might be problematic to get into!
ReplyDeleteI love vintage, Denise, as you know and I really love these! Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHello, these dresses are lovely. But, I can not imagine living in the time they were worn. I am glad the styles have changed. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteHi Denise, wow! what wonderful dresses, the second image appears to be very heavy and warm but very beautiful. Regards John
ReplyDeleteWonderful treasures! It would be an experience to dress in one of these for fun!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen Carol Burnett do a funny take on Scarlet in the Gone With The Wind movie? She takes a curtain off the window and fashions a dress out of it. The first lovely dress in the photo is a little reminiscent of that. :)
ReplyDeleteI always marvel at their tiny waists.

What beautiful gowns. I find historical clothing interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat teensy dresses. I didn't see these when I visited two years ago. Were they inside the plantation?
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty dresses. I'm a fan of (GWTW-Gone With the Wind) and seeing dresses like these always makes me think of that movie. The clothing then was so beautiful but I bet it was hard to move around in.
ReplyDeleteI just love seeing old dresses. It's amazing to think they were all hand sewn! I can just imagine how long it took to create them.
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI find the history of textiles and clothing fascinating - a glance into a world which no longer exists. I wonder if these beauties were stitched by hand by the wearer, or by a taylor/seamstress or perhaps even made with a very early model treadle machine.
ReplyDeleteOh, I see in the fine print that each one is a reproduction - explaining their perfect condition. Beautiful!
