Just two mourning posts today. I've got a post archived, but this just is not the time.
For anyone in reach, the Met has an exhibition of mourning gowns of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I would love to see this, but though I'm on the correct coast, "in reach" just now has a proportion that keeps this event off my social calendar.
Pour La Victoire, always meticulous and fascinating, with copious detail photos, also has a look at just one mourning gown, but a fascinating look it is. In this case, too, the comments add to the post. Take a look at a rare and endangered silk dress, circa 1867.
