COMMENTARY

What did you get for Christmas?

Or Hanukah, or whatever…? I got:
– a bunch of the Everyday Fashion books (1909-20, 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s)
The Voice of Fashion and Edwardian Modiste books
– a vintage 1920s (according to the store) Japanese kimono that my sister saw me lusting over two weeks ago

And with the gift money from my mother-in-law, I bought some Fugawee repro 18th century shoes (which are super cute, but are awfully tight on the toes — I think I need to exchange them for a slightly wider size) and I plan on buying some solid silk for my robe a l’anglaise plus various other odds and ends for other projects.

And you?
