ri IBM study finds majority of Australian shoppers “apathetic” towards retailers, hungry for multi-channel innovation By www.ibm.com Published On :: Tue, 28 May 2013 12:04:59 GMT An IBM (NYSE: IBM) study of 26,000 consumers from 14 countries -- including almost 2,000 Australians.-- found that over 60% of Australian consumers identify themselves as “apathetic” in their choice of primary retailer – almost double those who see themselves as advocates of a particular retailer.

As fandom does, a lot of people predictably joked about "welp, my Stucky tentacle porn just won a Hugo" or "my Stucky A/B/O has won 0.0000482% of a Hugo!" The World Science Fiction Society™, who holds the service mark for "The Hugo Awards"™ and licenses the ability to award those awards each year to the independent organization that seeks the license to throw each year's Worldcon™, decided that they would like us all to know we should stop doing that and this award being given to "The Archive Of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works" does not mean that we, users of the AO3 or members of the OTW, are 'Hugo winners'.

This is the final book in (for now) my final series in the Parasolverse, so I bought this ridiculous thing of Etsy. Obviously when I ordered it I thought it was a great deal smaller! The vendor is out of Russia so I guess everything is bigger in Russia! You see I wanted to round out my teapot purse collection with a red one, since I already have a black kettle and a cream colored bessie.

ri Relaxing Victorians: Casual Wear From Unseen to Seen to Seen by Only a Few ~ Wrappers & Peignoirs & Dressing Gowns to Morning Dresses & Tea Gowns to Lingerie from Gail Carriger By retrorack.blogspot.com Published On :: Wed, 18 Dec 2019 17:17:00 +0000 One of the things the Victorian era saw, Fashionable Reader, was an exploration of that liminal space through casual around the house wear.Wrapper 1855 The Metropolitan Museum of ArtHere we have the wrapper that was only meant to be seen by family.Dressing Gown early 1870s The Metropolitan Museum of ArtDressing Gown 1875 The Kyoto Costume Institute Dressing gowns, banyans and wrappers are often quilted all or in part.Wrapper early 1860s The Metropolitan Museum of ArtOne of the signs of a wrapper is that the waist is designed to be loose or tied tight. Often they split up the front, like a carriage dress or a robe so they can be pulled over a nightgown or underpinnings, like a dressing down but slightly more tailored. Still NOT designed to be worn over a corset. Peignoir 1860-1865 The Metropolitan Museum of ArtPeignoir 1880s The Metropolitan Museum of Art Peignoir seems to be a catch all term. Morning Dress 1860 The Metropolitan Museum of ArtMorning dresses were initially gowns for the breakfast table that did not require a corset.They're characterize by a looser top lots of details in the neck and sleeves. Morning Dress 1872-1873 The Metropolitan Museum of ArtOne of the things we see evolving (and limits being tested) after the 1950s through the 1900s is the idea of what was not meant to be seen (undergarments and nightgowns) to what was initially only meant to be seen by family or lovers (wrappers & peignoirs) to receiving casual around house guests at breakfast (morning dresses) to I'm comfortable at home and I want to show my wealth with yet another space & occasion specific outfit (the tea gown).Tea Gown late 1870s The Los Angeles County Museum of ArtTea gowns were an evolution of the morning gown.Tea Gown 1875 The Metropolitan Museum of ArtTea Gown 1875-1880 The Metropolitan Museum of Art1Harpers Bazar New York Sat June 13 1891 Dressing Gowns NightshirtsThis evolution is coupled with the rise of the middle class, the sexual revolution (including contraception and woman's suffrage) and various other factors.Bed Jacket 1885 The Metropolitan Museum of ArtDressing Jacket 1885-1890 The Metropolitan Museum of Art We see a culmination in this towards the turn of the century in the popularity of (and wide-scale use of the word) negligées and lingerie sets, which specifically implies an article of clothing that is sexual in its nature for it is meant to be seen by a lover. Negligée 1880 The Metropolitan Museum of ArtThis kind of clothing, prior to the first sexual revolution, would not have been acceptable for a fashion house to make, let alone a fashionable lady to purchase.Negligée Callot Soeurs, 1898-1900s The Metropolitan Museum of ArtLingerie Set 1880s The Metropolitan Museum of Art There was also head wear that was designed to be worn exclusively around the house, but that's a whole other story...House Cap 1900 The Metropolitan Museum of ArtFor Primrose!Boudoir Cap 1895 The Metropolitan Museum of Artnightgown 1894 The Metropolitan Museum of ArtDressing Gown 1897-1899 The Metropolitan Museum of ArtRetro Rack is also on facebook where I post additional images and fashion thoughts.You can shop my recommendations via the following lists: Steampunk, Retro Jewelry, Makeup, Retro Clothes, LifestyleProduct links on this blog are usually to Amazon using my associate code.
