This almost fits into the theme of my latest exhibition (currently being installed) about the home-front.  Of course, this little home would be a post-war house perfect for returning vets.  It’s not as tiny as the description below suggests and if it’s anything like a c.1920 post-war bungalow I was recently visiting, its high ceilings and many windows make it seem quite spacious and airy.

Wow.  WOWOWOWOW !  I may be in love with this dress and that’s saying something because the 1860s aren’t usually my favourite period for Victorian clothing.

You know you’re special when your costumes are made by Worth.  I’m special because mine are made by Mildred Strange.

There’s a not dissimilar dress in the museum collection where I work.  Ours is probably dates from 1750-1780, but with all the alterations it’s undergone, it is hard to say exactly.
