An 1810s Lookbook / Elisabeth Alcott

After a great CC shopping session and an aging-up makeover I feel like I've finally got Elisabeth's outfits to a point that I really like! Her clothes are very much influenced by where I am in the challenge - the Bay doesn't yet have a trading post or much connection with the rest of the country, so she doesn't wear the latest fashions or overly fancy clothes. Living on a farming homestead also means there's very much a practical focus to her clothes.

Happy New Year! In celebration, I have created this lookbook for you all! A young lady upon entering her first social season, here we have Charlotte Milbourne. Details & links below the cut!

Charlotte Milbourne is nineteen years of age when she is out in society in 1811. Otherwise known as the Regency Era, in this period of time women’s dresses were high-waisted due to the French’s influence in fashion and the Neoclassical popularity that swept through Europe. Women’s dresses were more modest during the daytime, with slim and sleek silhouettes. Charlotte is the only daughter of a Baron, and though her family isn’t the highest in nobility, she still would wear beautifully made dresses that only the rich could afford.

Marya Gorovina 1826 Lookbook - holiday gift 2

I've got much more free time now that school is out for a few weeks, so here's another gift! This lookbook was inspired by those of @aheathen-conceivably. Yes, you've seen her before and you'll see her again - it's Marya!

(keep reading for rambling and cc links)

Marya is one of my oldest surviving sims. She was originally created as a background sim in a War and Peace save file. At that time, she was blonde and about 2 years old. Her parents, especially her father, are also among my favorite sims.

The best word for Marya's style would be "gloomy." She prefers darker colors, especially deep purples and blacks. Her fashion is influenced by the gothic styles that were popular in the late 1810s and early 1820s, when she was a teenager and young adult. Due to her status in society, she dresses stylishly, but still keeps her older dresses, as can be seen in her more old-fashioned dinner and summer outfits.

You'll notice that the silhouettes of her dresses are kind of inconsistent. The 1820s were a major transitional period in Western women's fashion, so there are big differences between, for example, the slightly older dinner dress and the modern evening dress.

19th Century Fashion Evolution Lookbook

Since a few months ago, I wanted to make a lookbook about the female fashion evolution throughout the 19th century and their respective decades.

The century starts with the typical empire silhouette dresses from the Late Georgian and Regency eras (1800′s-1810′s). 1820′s and 1830′s  was a transitional decades from the narrow empire gowns to breadth dresses with exaggerated puffy sleeves. Early-Mid Victorian (1840′s-1860′s) fashion is characterized by the increase in the width of women skirts with the use of the crinoline. In Mid-Late Victorian (1870′s-1880′s) era, sinhouettes became narrow again and the bustle was used for get a draped shape. In the Last 19th Century Decade (1890′s), puffy sleeves comeback, skirts acquire a A-line shape and fashion style becomes a transition from the victorian to the edwardian era. 

I hope you like it. I’m not a professional fashion historian, only a vintage-style lover. And sorry for my bad english.
