I love the dresses, but they don't seem any comfortable to me. Women have been often overdressed along history!

I have chosen some kids: see them here.

And, these women definitely needed a servant, or someone, to help them get dressed!

Yes it is always the layers of clothing that fascinate me. Maybe the answer is to live somewhere warmer:)
My dresses are here

Much prettier widow's clothing that the traditional black mourning!

Here are mine.

The widow woman seems happy. They say Finland is the happiest country....
Happy women's day!
