  2. oldrags: November fashions, 1874 France, Journal des Demoiselles et Petit Courrier des Dames Réunis I think my favorite part of late-1800s fashion might be the classy little hats.  Specifically the ones that kind of look like fedoras, as seen on the lady in purple. Also, tell me that’s not trying to be a sailor fuku.
