Hello there! Someone asked for some middle- and lower-class fashions, and I think I have an ok resource? This website (https://www.soundsurvey.org.uk/index.php/history/street_cries) has digitised a lot of books that were popular in the 19th century of "old street cries," which documented (idk how accurately) different street sellers and their jingles they would use to attract customers. They have wonderfully lively illustrations of working-class garb, mostly in the 19th century. Some of the books on this website were produced much later than the period they illustrate (i.e. published in the 1860s but about street cries of the 1700s) while others were produced more at the same time. There's a lot of material but the search thingy on the left hand side is pretty handy!
Hope this helps! I'm a big fan of both your blogs and look forward to seeing what variety happens with the fashion polls 💖💐
hello my darling!
thank you for reaching out! and thank you so much for your sweet words 🥰🥰 I'm really glad you're enjoying my blogs!! ☺️☺️
and omg thank you for this fantastic resource! "street cries" were a genre I was aware of, but I hadn't thought of using them to source fashion images, so this is brilliant! 💕💕
the school where I got my masters degree had a really amazing special collections library, and they had a great collection of street cries, chapbooks, broadsides, and other ephemera documenting the popular culture of london throughout the 19th century. and while I was there, they had put on a little exhibition of some of that material, which led me to a chapbook about a sensationalized murder with some really wild images in it. anyway, that led me to develop my final research project for my art history theory class where I focused on depictions of criminals - specifically murderers - in the late victorian london press and the ways in which they constructed the visuality of "criminality." I didn't actually end up using any street cries in that final paper, but I still thought it was a cool connection!
but thank you so much again! I'm very excited to put some of these into a poll!! ☺️☺️
have a fantastic day! 💕💖💕💖

Historical Fashion: Puffy Sleeved Gowns (Italian Ren.) 
This fashion was prominent during the later part (but not yet the end) of the Italian Renaissance (1530s/40s). The top part of the sleeve is rounded and the bottom part of the sleeve forms a narrow fit on the arm. Initially, the top part of the sleeves went to the lower part of the upper arm or to the crook of the elbow earlier on in the 1530s, but then became shorter as time went on. The sleeves could be ruffled (shown above), smooth (shown above), or slashed with the chemise sleeves visible underneath. As the Italian Renaissance died down Italian fashions became less popular in the 17th century with other countries such as England, France, and Spain dominating the fashion trends in Europe.

i do feel sympathy for my parents because they often got called to school for meetings whenever i got a little too macabre. My special interests from second grade on were the Bubonic Plague and Vlad the Impaler so this happened as often as you might imagine,
so anyway my school made us go through Confirmation in seventh grade as 12 year olds, which is whack. It’s the Catholic sacrament wherein you retake the vows your guardians made on your behalf at your baptism. It signifies your transition to adulthood in the eyes of the church and God. So you should be, you know, an adult. All of my other friends did it between ages 16 & 20.
You can’t really commit in a genuine way when you’re 12 and the sacrament is written into your class curriculum as homework.
But I digress.
When you get confirmed, you choose a Catholic saint as your patron and learn everything about them and try to model yourself after their values and faith to follow their example.
You’re supposed to envision the sort of person you want to become in the church and look into saints with relevant patronages.
But I got in trouble because my teacher found me googling specifically which saints were martyred by Rome via “eaten by wild beasts” as my baseline criteria
