I was so glad to have this day off of work so I could go to see this beautiful mansion in Hanover, PA. I did not even know it was there. I had happened on a brochure for Titanic Fashions: High Style in the 1910's being presented at the Warehime-Myers Mansion. The fashions were wonderful, but even though this exhibit will only be there until April 29, the house is wonderful to see all on it's own. They normally do not allow photos, but we were able to take pictures of the fashions--so if some of the house shows up in these pictures, all the better. I am bad.
I find the fashions of the past so elegant and feminine. The silvery looking outfit above is actually a wedding dress. Sometimes I wish we did still dress like these fashions. Normally, no one ever even notices this grandmother walking around town. However, things are different when I am in my period attire. And, I know that when I get into my period attire to do tours I feel so much more feminine. I hold myself more erect and move with a new kind of grace. The fact that people want to take my picture over and over again when I am in that attire is a big plus for my ego, too. Huzzah, for being a woman!
Hi there. Found you through Maria's blog. I love the photos and the information you have to offer. Please keep it coming! :)
ReplyDeleteWould love to see some of those pics of you in your period attire. What fun!
Yes there is an elegance to dressing that way. Though I'm sure it made laundry a whole lot more cumbersome!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics and especially the red walls. Wow that's a lot of yang energy :)
