March 29, 2008. Going back in time. With all those positive points how could modern day society not want to go back to that style of dress? Well much to everyoneâ s shock, Iâ m sure , we have gone back. Many fashion students are coming up with a modern twist on a Victorian style gown. Lace, beading, cap sleeves and all, the additions of course being a one sided sleeve, and some skin showing through the lace. The showing of skin being something not appreciated by the Victorians.

April 1, 2008. Though corsets have been worn since even earlier than the 19th Century, in the Victorian period their use was very widespread. The lace-up waist-cinchers were meant to exagerrate the hour glass shape of a woman's body, to exagerrate curvy chest and hips and small a waist. It is ironic that the Victorian era, which is often thought of as a time of propriety and even prudishness, has given us such a lasting symbol of sexuality. Posted at 7:07 PM - 0 comments.

March 31, 2008. Above is a picture of my house in Maple Ridge. My parents had it designed based on an 1880's Victorian home in Richmond, called the London Heritage Farm House. Our house is an example of the resurgence in popularity of Victorian-style homes that is currently taking place. There are many companies specializing in designing and building replica-Victorian homes, with gothic-inspired architecture, "gingerbread" wood detailing, and wrap-around porches. Posted at 5:29 PM -.
