TOWNIES THROUGH TIME - THE GOTHS

Because the Victorian period is so synonymous with Gothic Revival I figured the 1870s would be the perfect decade to send the Goths back to. I particularly love Alexander in his little fancy boy suit.

Let it be known that I was the biggest bookworm back in the day, so there were definitely a lot of possible options for this one! I toyed with possibly making Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables) or Jo March (Little Women), but ultimately decided to go with Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie (and the entire Little House series as a whole) as I'm certain my eight year old self would not forgive me if I didn't. 😂😂

• Dress.

Date: ca. 1868

Medium: Watered silk faille, soutache cording, metal.

~ From the source: Margaretta Sophia Howard Ridgely (1824–1904) likely purchased this royal blue, silk moiré visiting dress during her travels through England and France in 1870. Black soutache cording embellishes the dress, which closes in the front with metal hooks and eyes and black thread-covered wooden buttons. Ridgely's husband, Charles Ridgely (1838–1872), did not survive the trip and passed away in 1872, upon which Margaretta entered mourning, wearing only blacks, greys, and later dull purples. This dress, so eye-catching and vibrant, would have been inappropriate to wear in mourning and was packed away, never to be worn again.
