It is essential that I simply take liberties with historical fashion and dressing for Horology, or else I will spend the next twenty thousand years combing through every beautiful detail of 1880's fashion in France, but I'm also having such a lovely time looking at the beautiful clothes??

#But it is frustrating because Christine is NOT rich in the start of the story #she would almost certainly be making her own clothing or wearing the same three or four things constantly #Or else borrowing from other women around her/from costumes if she wanted to #so many of the things I'm able to find aren't even relevant to her because she wouldn't be upper class #my girl is an outfit repeater and that is FINE #but it's not as fun and also like #1880s was a fascinating time in fashion history where so many interesting things were happening #Silhouettes are changing sleeves and necklines are doing crazy things #the rise of industry is impacting the way clothes are made!!!#sometimes I need to remind myself that I am in fact writing poto fanfiction and not a lady's guide to dressing in 1881 #If I were more normal I would let myself have more fun #after all why shouldn't Christine get to wear those stunning frothy lace blouses that won't be popular for like 8 years minimum?#I just like big sleeves goddamnit
