    Amazing Corsets & Dresses by Alice and Willow

    GET IN MY CLOSET

    into my closet! <3

    Oooh thanks to msbarrows for showing me this link. I like the first outfit, the brocade but in a different colour. A dark green, or a royal blue perhaps?

    THAT FIRST DRESS COAT THING NEEDS TO BE IN MY LIFE AND I NEED TO HAVE A CUTE ENOUGH BODY SHAPE TO WEAR IT. 

    No, see, that’s the point of a corset. Even if you don’t have a naturally cute bodyshape, a corset will MAKE IT that way. And also provide fabulous back support. And if you wear them often enough, it’ll push all your belly fat to the bottom I am not even kidding.

    Sadly there is far too much disparity between my waste, and my hips/butt. I do NOT look good in things like that. 

    I have crazy high hipbones but I refuse to give up my dream of owning and wearing a bunch of corsets as part of my normal wardrobe.

Lost Goddesses: Denial of Female Power in Cambodian History by Trudy Jacobsen

Women had a high status in pre-modern Southeast Asia; this is constantly stated, especially in relation to discussions on the status of women today in the region. Why, then, is it that the position of women there today is far from equitable? Few studies have examined how or when - let alone why - this change came about. This is the first study ever to address the place of women in Cambodian history. A narrative and visual tour de force, it revises accepted perspectives in the history and geopolitical organization of Cambodia since c. 230 C.E. In so doing, the book examines the relationship between women and power and analyses the extent of female political and economic participation as revealed in historical sources, including the ways in which women were represented in art and literature. By taking an analytical approach through the sequence of chronological periods, it is possible to determine when and why the status of women changed and what factors contributed to these changes. Significantly, although Cambodian women have been represented at different times as ‘powerless’ in western analyses, they have continued to exercise authority outside those areas of concern to western constructs of power. This study will be of interest to scholars working in history, anthropology, gender studies, politics, religion, Cambodian/Khmer studies, and Southeast Asian studies, as well as members of the general public.

Usually when I go looking for LBD&#8217;s it&#8217;s so I can get an idea of a styled I&#8217;d ideally like to find or a standard that I want myself to set and then I go look through my local thrift stores. I don&#8217;t think that will work for this dress.
