at the Pinterest site 'Costume Inspiration.' The social, photo-sharing
site allows you to browse the pinboard for inspiration,'re-pin' images to your
own collection, or 'like' photographs. The array of costume on show
reveals fashions trends and social traditions from the late eighteenth century
through to the turn of the twentieth century. Photographs, drawings
and magazine cuttings decorate the site which not only shows the corseted,
heavy-skirted fashions of the day, but also has an interesting collection of
accessories. Aristocratic Russian and Japanese fashions features prominently as
does British dress from the 1800s.
