Ah, yes! This is VERY 1850s in my opinion! The rounded softness of the silhouette, the sheer WIDTH of those ruffled sleeves, the hair... Yes! She is SO lovely!

#Fashion history#Lovely lovely! 🥺😍#It was my actual JOB to portray life in the 1850s for several years!#So I have a special affection for the decade. 🥰 (And a lot of research ha!)#You'll notice 'soft' and 'wide' as general characteristics haha!#Especially compared to the decades sandwiching it on either side which were more tailored#The 1840s being tailored and slim#And the 1860s being tailored and WIDE. Haha!
