Historical formal, and some dresses, for girls




Very recently, I have been asked to look at some formal dresses, presumably for girls. So here are some good tips:




Be colourful
Be creative
Be inventive
Don’t flash your skin (breasts and legs) unless you want to be called a certain name. Believe you me, there is a name for those who choose that path
You only live once. So liven it up a bit.

Take a look at these:

















By looking at these we can share the genius of the artists who spent their valuable artistic time designing these pieces of art. As I’ve said before, we need to broaden our outlook.

Something else we should consider is our ride. Guys, if you turn up on a scooter, than I will personally have to smash it. If you turn up on a scooter AND you have facial hair, then I will destroy your scooter, and then you. It has to be done.
I have also been thinking about fashion 150 years ago. I know that for most of this blog I have talked about embracing the new and the different, but sometimes it is good to go through the cupboards and pull out the gems that have continued to impress us through the ages.
So here are my top five old fashioned pieces of clothing:
5. An old dress
Imagine yourself in this. Obviously for people whose legs get colder than the rest of their body. Great for people who can’t let go of the past and like green.
4. Old gold boots
This is definatley something that would work with any of the colour combinations that I mentioned in the first post. They have heels and style. The only problem would be if your laces broke.
3. The bonnet
The reason this one would be so good is because it can be used in a informal or a formal way. You can get many variations of this and can be sophisticated and really support an outfit. The down side is that it ruins any sort of plans for extravagant hair and needs to match the rest of the outfit.
2. Ye old top hat
This really takes it to another level. It can be worn with almost any colour, shows sophistication and a level of gentlemanlyness (apparently not not a word) that many other acsessories would struggle with.
1. Pocket watch
This is what everyone should have. I think you could almost get away with riding a scooter with facial hair if you had one of these. This really does take the cake. It gives off an air of intelligence and most people could wear one without worrying to much. another great thing is that it’s unisex. You don’t even have to worry about what facial hair you have when you wear this.

So that is it. All these articles are from the 19th century. During that time, in order to keep updated with the fashion mail was the way of communication, although by the end of the 19th century telegraph and telephone had replaced mail. The main ways of transportation was by frieght, ships and railroad. To keep up to date would have been much more difficult if you lived in a small town. If you were in the bigger cities than it would have been easier to be able to stay with the leaders.

So in the end, what it comes down to is these things:
- What are you uncomfortable with?
Just step out of your comfort zone. Do something different.
- Be a man
Not trying to be sexist here but be brave and bold. The men of high school need to rise up and be downright stupid so we can leave an impression on the innocent so that they may pass on the culture for many years to come. The girls can join too if they want.
- You only live once
Be stupid and love life. Unless you enjoy murdering like Hitler did. Cause than that would be awkward.
