I was in tears doing this wks #podcast. CW #Victorian alcohol abuse. Janie sounds absolutely desperate + pours out her heart to Fred who's a 100 miles away in #Middlesbrough. Fred later speculates that the reason Emma is being so cruel to Janie is because she is 'a little envious'. I'd go so far to say she's absolutely green w envy. It seems so very unfair.

Hello loves, latest My Love Letter Time Machine podcast episode out now. CW - Victorian alcohol abuse. Janie’s delight at at the family seaside day out is tempered by Emma’s increasingly unkind behaviour. This week Janie takes us to Cleepthorpes, then as now, probably the nearest bit of sandcastle sand to Sheffield. Absolutely love putting this episode together.

Santa from _Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine_, 1886-01, #NewYork, #NY, #USA. IMO his frazzled look may be due to having his face pressed into this for 136 years: "THE BEST HAIR DRESSING - COCOAINE - It kills Dandruff, promotes the Growth of the Hair, cures Scald Head and all Irritation of the Scalp. JOSEPH BURNETT & CO., BOSTON, MASS. [hand-scribbled] Cocoaine is now put up in two sizes, 50c & $1.00"

Is it a languid morning or the end of the day, the outer shell not yet fastened or already removed? The mid #1880s embroidered #kimono, made for export to Western markets is a moment of calm, a point of privacy away from curious eyes @LACMA@twitter.com #fashionhistory

Berry red, indeed! This holly holiday ensemble dates from 1886, and is by Selina Cadwallader, who sadly died the same year at only 50. Originally from Ireland, no one is really sure how Selina made her way to Ohio, but by 1870 she was making dresses & running a board house.

She was beloved and highly respected dressmaker in her time, and her dresses are absolutely works of art. #FashionHistory #ThreadTalk #fashion #1880s #history #arthistory

I mean it when I say I have bigger ideas than I can properly execute, and costume design will always stump me. Nevertheless, trying my hand at an #1880s #BustleDress styled after a particular character. Feel free to take a guess

My latest sewing project! When the idea to dress up for #discworldday gets _completely_ out of hand. Meet Moist von Lipwig, proper Victorian lady! All in all, this project was by far the largest I've ever done and I'm super pleased with the end result.
