Persimmon silk satin

Evening dress
Medium: Persimmon silk satin and ecru lace
Date: c. 1895
Country: England
The waist of this evening gown measures an atypically slender 18 inches. Although stories of severely tight-laced corsets are almost certainly exaggerated, women often did lace more tightly for formal occasions. The full, puffed sleeves of dresses in the 1890s also made waists appear even smaller.

And just to not be all kinky outfits all month:

The long-awaited release of indie TGTF comedy Sam, reviewed by Courtney. Sounds like it's fun but not quite up to the wait.

Shiny!

And now, Ulorin Vex.

Those shoes are terrifying. I want them.

Happy October!
