Ok, yeah, I have come to love and appreciate the insane busy-ness of Victorian print mash-ups in a totally ironic manner, but then sometimes it hits me that someone actually put all this together on purpose because they thought it looked nice.
And then made it into porn.

This is an antique gown (1890s) on Etsy. The seller also has an original photograph of the woman wearing the dress.
Victorians actually wore bright colors. The sepia photographs are misleading!

So when I say that a pattern or chair or curtains or whatever is horrible just remember that these are the kinds of colors it’s probably in. It probably looked 500x worse in real life than you think it does.
