asklondinium:Upon becoming pregnant with her daughter Charlotte, Kitty Sheldon, wife of resident doofus Robert Sheldon and brilliant intellectual, adopts Artistic Dress. The Artistic (and later Aesthetic) Dress movement is linked to the Pre-Raphaelites and intellectuals of the 19th century and is a wonderful alternative to corsets and overly-tailored clothes. Design inspiration is often drawn from medieval gowns. For Kitty, who hates corsets and (rightly) suspects that they’re not good for the body, it’s perfect and she jumps at the chance to join the movement her intellectual friends are advocating for. She thinks it makes her look smarter when she’s with her books, too! -- source link
