Steampunk Lace Shirt Lace and gauze can turn the plainest shirt into pure Victorian femininity. Use this technique to add some interest to any button-down shirt you have hanging in your closet. If you want to give the shirt an edgy look, try pairing it with some steampunk chain jewelry or a leather belt. You can also switch out the original buttons for some with filigree.

Use a pin to mark the point halfway between the arm seam and the base of the collar. Trim any excess from the bottom edges of the fabric so it is even on both sides of the shirt. Cut the collar from the shirt, leaving approximately 1/2" (15mm) of the lower edge of the collar still attached. Pin the lace trim to the collar so the edge of the trim rides above the collar band. Embellish as desired with pearls, bows, and ribbon.

Rustic Vogue Christening Fashion Baby Cape Victorian Christening Fashion Christening Fashions in the Victorian Era Whilst pregnancy and birth were quiet private occasions for the Victorians, the whole family looked forward to the public occasion of the christening as an event of celebration. The Church insisted that babies were christened in a white garment, a symbol of purity and innocence. Christening robes of the 18th century were made of embroidered and trimmed silk or satin. However, by the 19th century white embroidery on fine cotton lawns, or fine linens was the fashionable, tasteful garment of choice. Large families were popular in the Victorian era, and therefore a mother might make one very beautiful gown when she had the time whilst awaiting the arrival of her first born child. Once used and admired along with the new baby, the same christening robe would then be packed away and carefully kept for the next occasion, and would probably be used for every baby a mother bore.
