Lovely Lady's in Beautiful & Romantic Historic dresses costumes of the day 1700's & 1800's

Hi everyone! As promised here are several pictures of old paintings.  All so romantic, feminine and gentile women. Just think of the work to make and maintain these beautiful dresses. One reason I had collected these picture was for reference. At one time I was making historical costumes for Felicity the American Girl or Pleasant Company doll. But now just enjoy them.
 I just found two of the prettiest blogs!! one is carol anne boutique and feathers and flight . I feel quite shabby now!!!

Hope you enjoy these masterpiece images, Louise
