Over at The Republic of Pemberley site, there's an 1829 coat that has the same simple lines as the clothes Brummell wore. I'll stick with my image of Dain as wearing very expensive, perfectly styled, understated elegance. I think I've got another painting somewhere that will show what I mean, and will soothe troubled spirits.Loretta Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170060214285828433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-10025951506798503402009-08-19T18:32:49.482-04:002009-08-19T18:32:49.482-04:00you know, I wondered whether the nip/tuck @ the wa...you know, I wondered whether the nip/tuck @ the waist was exaggerated for the men! I've just imagined the romance ideal of the flat hips and waist. But the idea of men creaking and groaning in whalebone, then, ugh, removing it pre-love scene is not titillating. Not like when you describe the lovely removal of layers of feminine lace and silk. From women, I mean. Or men in the 18th C. Damn you, Brummel! And I'm a bit w/nessa on the Dain vapors.Michelle Buonfigliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06518257512285810829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-75889228030779886042009-08-19T18:10:49.267-04:002009-08-19T18:10:49.267-04:00The thought of Dain dressed in one of those outfit...The thought of Dain dressed in one of those outfits makes me feel faint - and not in a good way!Vanessa Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14571549124283013391noreply@blogger.com
