Up The Wooden Hill


Swathe yourself in lawn and lace. 


Button your broderie anglaise bodice......

.......................And so to bed


Some Victorian nightdresses from the home of 
'The Ladies Emporium', Henfield Museum, Sussex.

With grateful thanks to my photograpers assistant..Miss Hand, despite her nail varnish not being era appropriate.....

Part of the same unworn trousseau from 1890


Broderie Anglais to the max
                                                             




                                                                       Silky and floaty with lavishly decorated sleeves...definately getting into lingerie territory here.


Night night.Sleep tight.
