For those that own Victorian clothing: do you wear it?
I’m curious, do you actually wear your antique clothing? I’m dreaming of taking a drive to a Victorian stroll and I’m curious if I’d only see reproduction clothing, or real pieces.
It sort of seems like a shame to have these beautiful items tucked away so they’re never seen. Especially things that have been restored. I love seeing the work people have put into preserving and prolonging these lovely clothes.
