Felt like playing dress-up with Meli today. I've also been wanting to try making her hair look a little more shiny and syrupy -- I like the result. 

The vest and coat are from a picture I saw a while ago, and for some reason have always wanted to draw Meli in:

According to the original post, the jacket is from around 1790, so the bustle skirt I drew it with probably isn't quite right. But, who knows how fashion worked in Ooo, so I'll probably leave it.

I love your blog! Love the fashion plates. I’m doing a paper on the Edwardian period, 1900-1910/14. Do you have any on that time period that you could post?

Thanks for your kind words!  I enjoy your blog, too!  Unfortunately I am not a collector of fashion plates later than 1840s- I'm just not as interested in those fashions.  Honestly, I don't even like the 1830s and 1840s that much, but I thought they deserved to be represented more on Tumblr.  Now I'm wandering...

Anywho!  I would recommend Old Rags for Edwardian fashion plates.  A few weeks (months?) ago she posted like a jillion Dutch plates from that era and they were incredible!  Her Edwardian section is QUITE extensive, and if I remember correctly, that is a particular favorite era of hers, so she'd be a good one to check out!
