Fancy That

Please forgive me, I haven't written anything in almost a week! School after spring break is busy, ugh. But anyways, while sitting in pre-calc/trig class, I was day dreaming and some how stumbled upon Marie Antoinette. I started thinking about the big hair and those extravagent dresses that not only she wore, but other woman in that era. They're actually very beautiful gowns and hair pieces...something I can see Lady Gaga wearing. I love how the gowns usually had bows on them, were feminime, and sometimes had a soft floral print on them. Here are some pictures that I thought were pretty and inspiring.
I just love that painting above. I wish we still had those sometimes. You can see the detail in the frills and bow, and how soft and delicate the women looked. It catches my fancy. Obviously, to wear a look similar to this now, it would be less frills, poof, and the dresses would not be as long. Here is a quick sketch of a dress that I find a more modern version of this era, sorry it's not the best picture!
