Thank you for highlighting the Geri Walton post on tea gowns. I love reading scholarly posts on the late Victorian-Edwardian era.
Not that you probably need more stuff to follow on Twitter, *grin* but if you haven't seen them yet, you might like to check out @jonesandfraser, who do some incredibly fascinating historical building restoration work in the UK. A history nerd's dream come true!
