the roller skates! from the 1880s.
I couldn’t resist some of these old fashioned fancy dress costumes culled from the web. If I had lots of time on my hands (hmmm…) I’d love to someday make a crepe paper costume. (Lots of pix after the jump!)
Russian Princess Tatiana Constantinova as a fairy.
Mini-jester.
Chic Diana/nymphette by the Callot Soeurs, 1920s.
