The Natural Form era (1876-1882) still involved foundation garments, despite the name. The two women in this April 1878 Les Modes Parisiennes plate are wearing corsets, plus most likely a bustle pad and a crinoline with hoops from knee to ankle to achieve that smooth cone shape. #victorian #19thcentury #1870s #naturalform #fashionhistory #historicalcostuming #historicalfashion (at New York Public Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4401JbAYMc/?igshid=1mwm4npsh4g4e

“When you go out into the woods, and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying ‘You are too this, or I’m too this.’ That judgment mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.” // wow these words are so powerful and true... what a beautiful way to look at how we handle self criticism and judgements... the next time you look in the mirror and you find yourself criticizing your appearance or maybe you're judging someone else.. be conscious, tell yourself YOU/THEY ARE PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL AND EXQUISITE JUST THE WAY YOU/THEY ARE and accept it, allow it to be... practice positive affirmations, and truly believe these things may we all be guided by the divine in us and see the light in all beings and ourselves ✨ Much much love

the most picturesque eucalyptus in Lake Parramatta has succumbed to poor management, photographed here in 2011, and now the butt has broken from decay, without recruitment or canopy regeneration in the rocky escarpment overrun with African Lovegrass for decades. Only a few remnant species survive such as the rock fern #Cheilanthes #cheilanthessieberi. #naturalform #treesculpture #lakeparramatta #remnanteucalyptus #sandstoneoutcrop #prematuredeath #dieback #bushcare #mismanagement #saturation #contrast (at Lake Parramatta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB7MNJ0jj9i/?igshid=5o72fcdw8hkt

Not sure if it’s me 🤔 Repost @thedreamstress ・・・ This 'natural form' era bonnet is wonderfully textural: contrasting two different kinds of straw with a weave that almost evokes scales, with the smooth lushness of velvet bows, and the sleek silk pleating of the lining. It's typical of the layering and mixing of fabrics and textures also seen in dresses of this era. .
