BethanyS - DONE

1. I am '''''extremely''''' obsessed with the 18th century because of the clothing. A womans daily attire would consist of (in this order): Stockings, followed by stays, shoes, hoop pocket, hoop petticoat, under petticoat, lace cap, an over petticoat, a stomacher, the gown, a neck kerchief, lace apron, and hat. Each one of these daily articles of clothing was made by hand...the over petticoat alone would take yards of fabric. The gown itself would would take at least 8 or 9 yards of fabric to make! And this was all hand sewn, I remind you - and each inch of stitching contained 20 stitches. All embroidery was by hand...any fabric that had a design was usually hand embroidered. A button in that time period was a work of art on its own. They often showed a kind of scene that is typical for a painting.

Another interesting thing is that they could interchange stomachers. A stomacher gave an old gown a totally new look. Some of the hoop skirts were called panniers extended up to 4 feet on either side of the woman! It was almost impossible to fit through a doorway unless it was anticipated and the woman turned sideways.

2. Ronald Reagan compared to Bill Clinton. WOW!! Reagan was a republican, Clinton was a democrat, first of all. They had different morals and ideals. They had different policies as well.
