<\/a><\/p>\nI would love to see women dressed like this coming down the street. Look at the rich colors, the plaids, the florals.\u00a0 The wonderful capes in such beautiful colors.<\/p>\n
Kidskin gloves. Tight bodices.<\/p>\n Tiny, corseted waistlines.<\/p>\n Even the hats had pretty, bright ribbons and look at the floral fabric in her dress.\u00a0 I have some reproduction material that almost looks like this fabric.<\/p>\n The Brontes were trying so hard to get their poetry and books published.\u00a0 They had to pretend to be something they were not. To be invisible. It was a man’s world and women just did not do something like write a book. How silly that sounds now with all the women authors we have now. I can’t imagine what it must have been like back then to know you could write and really wanted to write, but it was discouraged at every turn. These women were so brave and ahead of their time.<\/p>\n But back to the clothes, here the sisters come walking down the street all dressed up in their gorgeous dresses, capes and scarves.\u00a0 \u00a0The actresses who played the Bronte sisters were excellent.\u00a0 The sisters had to deal with their brother’s drug and alcohol abuse and he had an affair with a married woman which was quite the scandal back then.<\/p>\n I’m in love with this dress. If only I could go back in time for just a while and dress like this.<\/p>\n Not a good picture of it, but this dress looked like it was made of satin. Very dressy to be an every day dress.<\/p>\n I love this shawl.\u00a0 \u00a0And there is that floral fabric again.<\/p>\n I’m going to watch this again and really look at the clothes.<\/p>\n I may just get a pattern and some reproduction material and try making a Summer dress. I haven’t sewn clothes in a long time.<\/p>\n This book has been keeping me busy.<\/p>\n Sewing little 4 1\/2 inch blocks. Seventy-two of them, plus I sewed nine extra to go in the center. The pattern calls for a center medallion, but I didn’t like it so I sewed eight flying geese blocks and one log cabin block and I will call my quilt, “Geese Around the Cabin.”<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
