Inspiration

I am fresh from watching all the political intrigue in  The Borgias, as much as I liked the show for its storyline (I preferred it to The Tudors actually) I spent more time admiring the drool worthy women's attire which is a style which the artistic set chose to imitate with their Artistic reform style.  I remember experiencing the same sort of clothing crack after Ever After came out but never could see the point in making anything because I always had costume to make that was appropriate for the period I was reenacting.  There was never a point in costuming just for the sake and alas, British women of the time wore much more structured clothing.
