    LOVE! Especially the first dress and the first suit. So delicious!

    The last suit is really, really interesting. Do you suppose its a masquerade costume?

    I do think it is! It was labeled as "fancy dress" and you can tell that the craftsmanship isn't to the high standards of the other articles- it reminds me of the bagged costumes we buy at Halloween.

    What a treat! @ the Dreamstress- I agree, that first suit is divine! Thanks for posting Heather.

    Oh, oh, oh!! I love it! Thanks for sharing. I have a giant book of the Kyoto Costume institute's clothing from this period, and I think I recognize some of these.
