In this case I brushed it out as one, then took some pomade and separated and shaped individual curls. <br /><br />Vally, some libraries have reproduction department store catalogues, like sears, or montgomery wards. They are perfect for dating clothing. Mostly you just have to look at authentic clothing, see how it's made, fabrics used etc. to help authenticate other clothes. <br /><br />Thanks SMiles! <br /><br />Samurai Mom, yeah, I don't HATE it, but it's just my least favorite :)<br /><br />Meg, I used pin curls. <br /><br />leavendano, thank you! I love North and South, another favorite!Solanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543713717427918730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-37841675141656015462011-04-03T13:47:07.587-07:002011-04-03T13:47:07.587-07:00Wow, it's amazing to find more people who like...Wow, it's amazing to find more people who like the idea of wearing regency-inspired clothes!

I recall the book being filled with lots and lots of references to 1830s fashion and shopping (though of course, I think Gaskell would be smiling in approval and agreement with your preference of Molly's simpler country frocks being superior to too much finery (like Cynthia!). Anyway, that is a precious dress you've made.
