Heilsa All.

Here's another tidbit from the Historical Costuming list to share:

"The same costume will be:
Indecent...10 years before its time
Shameless... 5 years before its time
Outre...1 year before its time
Smart  (in its time)
Dowdy...1 year after its time
Hideous...10 years after its time
Ridicuoous...20 years after its time
Amusing ...30 years after its time
Quaint...50 years after its time
Charming...70 years after its time
Romantic...100 years after its time
Beautiful...150 years after its time"
            James Laver

Enjoy!
