Love the fashion. Those sleeves were popular in the early 80's. Looked nice with the small waist way back then. Couldn't imagine wearing them today. :/

This clothing style is not flattering. Makes the shoulders and hips look wide.

I have read that in warm weather they didn't always wear underwear. This lady I am sure never would have gone without under garments ;)

In order to have these small waists they had to wear tightly pulled corsets where they could barely breeze, no wonder they always carried smelling salts because they passed out so much.

I can't imagine how horrendously uncomfortable these fashions were.. one modern bra is enough to drive me insane by the end of the day.. just got home from work and taking it off felt like I was being liberated from a torture device.. I'm still haunted by the memory of it..

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
