Some of these are more “casual dresses” than “underwear”, by today’s standards.
Agreed!
Fabulous!
Dear Mary!
A marvellous Blog you have created, very skillfully done.I love the pics and the information given since I am interested in history in general, art, photography, fashion, history of them as well. Thanks a lot!

Absolutely lovely photos. Love the ‘night dresses’ too, which are actually more like casual dresses from today. Very interesting.
