Day 27: Favourite summer-themed photos of royals at Balmoral Castle

This is a series of footage clips containing several members of the British Royal Family including Queen Victoria, Prince Arthur of Connaught and his children, Princess Helena Duchess of Albany and her children, and also Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. This is sole of the first footage taken of most of these royals (except the Russian couple whose 1894 coronation was filmed) and is a perfect example of how the BRF vacationed at Balmoral (the location of the footage).

The woman mononymously known as the Duchess is a reclusive, mysterious agoraphobe who rarely leaves her estate - though that might have to do with the fact that she may or may not be the physical avatar of the mansion, who is constantly hungering for guests. Some of them survive the festivities, but the rest are buried in the garden. After all, people won't go to parties that no one comes back from. I'm gonna be selling physical copies of this on my Etsy and also at Megacon!

It's Fashion Plate Friday!

This Friday I have plate number one from The Magazine of the Beau Monde for February of 1837.

PLATE I. FIGURE 1. - EVENING DRESS. - Astral satin dress, close fitting corsage, a spirally twisted ribbon passes round the extreme upper portion of the sleeve and part of it ornaments it near the elbow, several rows of blond produce a rich finish to it. A zig-zag ornament beaded by a few ears of corn and a small feather goes round the bottom of the skirt. [Back view of hair above at top left]

FIGURE 2. - EVENING DRESS. - A crape dress trimmed with a satin ornament on the bust, richly embellished with blond edging, is decorated down the front in the form of an apron; the sleeves short and puffed full out.

FIGURE 3. - EVENING COSTUME. - Striped muslin dress over satin slip, caught up and connected to the underneath dress at a nearly equal distance from the bottom of the skirt all round. A garland of roses proceeds entirely round the hem. [Back view of hair above at top right]

CAPS composed of net and blond and ornamented with the latter and Valenciennes.
