Every time I’m in a store I always look for possible costume pieces. The last ccouple of months I bought a pair of great regency-looking boots on sale, some nice shawls, and the perfect pair of pants to my planed steampunk outfit.
So the other day I was killing some time down at the shopping center, looking throuhg some of the biger clothing stores.
I had no intension to buy anything (and didn’t in the end), but I got a pretty hard time holding on to my wallet once I spotted some lovely blouses with a un-mistakenly Edwardian flair.
I spotted this one the moment I stepped in to the store.
An ivory coloured cotton chiffong blouse with a lovely decoration and a resonably tight neck.
The blouse closes at the back with 4 buttons.

This second one was hanging in the same section as the first one.
A lovely lace decorated blouse with a smal collar and front button clouser.
The back is a bit plain, but the blouse still looks great.

And finaly I found this short jacket on sale.
The style would look awsome paried with a nice blouse, skirt and a big hat.

I love that even if you don’t know how to sew, you can still get a petty nice historical outfit straight from the fashion stores.
Love that second blouse, especially! I’m a beginner at sewing and follow your blog and other wistfully as a “wow, maybe someday” thing, but you’re absolutely right — I’ve pulled together various steampunk and Edwardian outfits from modern clothes I find it stores.
Great finds! That second blouse is divine! I am so jealous. 🙂
I’m guessing that blouse is being sold in your part of the word too.
Just look for a big swedish clothing company spelled i two big red letters 😉
Amazing! Thank you and have a nice day
the jacket! I have the same one, but mine is original *faint*
Omg, thats awsome!
I acctualy went back today and bought it (and it also looks great with jeans).
