Great period pieces.. and thank you... I for one appreciate your efforts.. :)

Thank you, they look great.

Ok I Thought I saw a glass slipper peeking out of there!

I wish these styles would come back, They are elegant and very cool, maybe a little cumbersome but I think say alot for a women wearing it rather then the clothes of today that make women look like street walkers..

I have to agree with BlueRain. I have been an amateur costume historian for years, seeking out examples of period dresses from the 16th-19th centuries for the most part, and what I miss more than anything is the sense of aesthetics...of beauty. No one can deny that there is going to be discomfort in wearing a heavily boned corset and layers and layers of crinoline. But, oh, what utter delight in the whole art of fashion when its design is to make the wearer beautiful, rather than just "in style." Serge, I await each and every one of your designs with great anticipation, and am never disappointed with your artistry. It is such a pleasure to know there are others out there who can appreciate the pre-Industrial ideal of femininity. Cheers, and thank you for the beautiful dress! Kimberly

By the way, you and Gloria have done a superb job of showing the drape of the actual dress over the rigid sub-structure of the hoop-skirt. It looks very real. I can almost see that skirt swinging like a bell when our two sisters walk!

Street walkers huh? You must be popular with the ladies ;P later jb

Thanks for your kind comments. Kimberly, your obedient servant. I'm honoured. Alisa, If you come one day in some Paris great reception, perhaps you will see (and wear) very similar dresses. But as in old times, it's not the common people who can do that :) Serge

A BIG THANK YOU TO ONE AND ALL! First and foremost i must thank Serge for giving me the oppotunity to show my stuff! He is just a wonderful creator of his lovely dresses and it was such a pleasure for me to do the textures! A thank you to all the folks who email me on them. Glad to see hard work is appreciated. I agree sweetheart, I wish the fashions like the olden days were back as well! Get so tired of seeing half nakid women in scanty clothes, to some it may be sexy, guess i think sexy is what is hidden beneath the bodice and hips! Old fashion i guess? Gloria (Lady Luna)

I think what's missing around the world these days is elegance and grace. Just think about Fred and Ginger gliding around the floor, that sort of illustrates what I'm talking about. I was in a local(Chicago) club not long ago that was all chrome and mirrors and black marble, very Art Deco.I almost expected Fred and Ginger to come waltzing out on the balcony. No, I'm not that old, but I'm a real movie buff. Think about some of the thirties movies. Jean Harlow in simple draped satin or a very youg Kate Hepburn looking absolutely radiant in a glittery, tissue-like butterfly costume("Christopher Strong", one of her early movies). Back to my original reasons for this post. I was wondering if you were familiar with "Godey's Lady Doll Book". It has all sorts of patterns and ideas for fashions around the turn of the century,somewhere around late 1800 and early 1900. It was for women who wanted to sew their own doll clothes in the mode of the day. The other reason was to tell you how much I appreciate your work and to thank you.

Gee, thanks Artnik, i know what ya mean about the old movies! Yes i have several books on Doll clothes patterns for Period clothes, plus i have done tons of research, being a self made Historian it comes with the territory. I love the Period clothes from around the 1600's through turn of the centry early 1900. Anyway, thanks for your appreciation! Gloria, Lady Luna
