Cutting-edge fashion in the late 18th century

[APrizeEveryTime]

Maybe some of you have seen "The Duchess," the extravagantly beautiful film about Georgiana Spencer, the Duchess of Devonshire, and her unhappy marriage to the Duke.

The website for the film has a link for the fabulous costumes. Clear photos with an explanation about each one, including comments by the costume designer. But the totally cool thing is its rotate feature, enabling you to see each one from any point around it. And of course you can zoom in for details.

If you want to take a close look at what the rich and famous were wearing in the 1770s, take a look. It's at http://www.theduchessmovie.com/. Click on the Costumes link in the upper-right.

So informative and beautiful! (And makes me very grateful for sweat pants.)
