Double Period Project - 1812 / 1912 - Inspiration
The first period I plan to tackle is 1812. I have decided to make a man's walking suit or promenade outfit. Perhaps, the gentleman is taking the air, a little stroll in the late afternoon.
After conducting several, actually a lot, searches for inspirtinal images, fashion plates and paintings, I settled on these pictures. The final outfit will be contain elements from these initial sources.
The images come from http://www.victoriana.com/ website, men's fashion images 1810 - 1819.
