On the day after Boxing Day, we ventured into the nearest town, Ludlow. One visit to Ludlow is always necessary when we visit this set of relatives, often to look at Ludlow Castle and to have tea in DeGrey's. We also have a look-around at all the shops and they're mostly always the same. However, this time round we went to a part of Ludlow that we don't normally go to (I guess because we never have time). There we found a shop full of vintage and antique clothes and items (I saw a Regency watercolour painting that I thought about getting but decided against as our walls are already full of paintings and photos in this house). My mother found a late Victorian blouse so I bought it! As I said above I'm not that much of a fan of Victorian clothing but I really liked this. The woman who was working in the shop then talked to us (my mother mentioned I'm into historical fashion and costuming), and she also told us that the blouse was probably made near the end of the 19th century, but changed around the beginning of the 20th to match the Edwardian fashions.
Sorry for the photo quality - I only have a compact camera. I had to toggle the settings on it every now and then to get the best photo quality but avoid using flash.
I hope you enjoyed looking at these things and if you have any questions, I'll try to answer them! I didn't want to make the post too full of text (also known as me being a bit lazy) but I'll add anything people think I should add.
On another note I hope everyone had a good new year's eve and day and that 2013 is working out well for you already.
