It's spooky season! Halloween is right around the corner. Personally I love dressing up in costumes, and costumed parties were popular in the olden times too!
In the 19th century, costume parties were popular for Halloween, New Year's Eve, or any time! What's interesting is seeing how the costumes of the day still reflected the fashionable sihouette of the time. Check out the fashion plates of "fancy dress," the Victorian term for dress-up costumes.
In the 1920s, Halloween's popularity boomed, and we have lots of pictures to show us what kinds of costumes folks were wearing! See even more at the blog post!
Are you dressing up this year? Did you sew any costumes? Let us know - or better yet, send us a picture!
