I’ve got a real soft-spot for ca. 1880’s fashion.  Of course, some examples of the era pull off the ridiculousness better than others.  Will this week’s Rate the Dress tickle your fancy?  

I wanted to present something nice and cozy for those of you in cold climates for this week’s Rate the Dress. Turns out the dress I chose is cotton, not wool, so it’s not quite as warm as I’d planned, though it certainly covers everything. Instead, it’s rather seasonal for us here in New Zealand, and you’ll see why shortly!
