I see! Thank you ladies. I do love that dress

It bugs me when people make stupid comments like that. Like it matters if I want to wear a ball gown to work

The last time someone made a snarky comment about why I was so "dressed up," I promptly responded by asking when they were planning on going to the gym. (The person in question was wearing one of those velour track suits to eat dinner in a restaurant!)

Don't let it get you down, I find the people that need to comment are usually the worst offenders.

That dress is definitely a day dress. People can be such slobs these days that any dress is 'dressed up' to them.

I find people are generally too afraid to say much to me when I'm in full vintage ensemble (1930s) It's pretty different from what you see, I suppose and most English people are too polite! Or else I get tentative, interested questions. No one has ever been outright rude to me, which is probably just as well!

Help...

Okay this is not my era so I'm hoping someone will be able to give me some info on my recent auction find. I found this vest and wool skirt in a box that I bought at an auction, is anyone able to give me a date on when this is from?? Edwardian or Victorian?? 1890's 1900's???

This was in the box too...
I'm hoping this fits but I'm not sure if I'm a hot pink kinda girl yet!

This is to small for me but very pretty!
