Victorian Appeal

Just a little taste of some of the experimental stuff I try with Atmosphoto1. I bought a Victorian 100-year-old outfit from an auction for $4. I'm an idiot and washed some of it ... the skirt and inner garments ... in the washing machine (on gentle) and it literally fell into shreds. It was such a mess to dig out of my washer! I hand washed this hat and embroidered shawl, so it did not actually shred, but my skin was black after I took it off from these photos because it was transferring onto me and smelled like gasoline or diesel or something weird. I read that old fabric can have this kind of smell to it. Anyway, we did manage to salvage a little of this style to take some photos. I'll post the second (better) half tomorrow for my pay tier. :)
