Today I have been in Borås, a neighbouring town, to the textile Museum to look at parts of their collection of clothes from the 1940s. 50s and 60s for a project idea that I have. But of course that was not the only thing that I saw; for example there was this lovely 1890s jacket:

The only wear on the 1890s jhacket was on teh silk velvet collar, the sturdy wool in the jacket looked almost new. Th e1920s jacket had a tear in the lining.

Oh! How wonderful that you got to take closer looks at things :) I really want to make that 1890s bicycling outfit from Laughing Moon now.

Wow, I like that '90's jacket. Check out the ginormous sleeves! The back detailing on the collar is cool too.

I loved Boras, I didn't know they had a clothing collection - we just went to the mill museum... Gotta go back, I guess! :-)

It's the same museum, but they've got a great collection down in the magasines.
