*LaModeHistorique

Hey, everyone! ~Seitou here again. Well, I completely lost track of the days and forgot to hold the poll for the next Forum Event >____>;;; So I figured we'd just go with the next most popular topic from the last poll...? That means we'll be discussing corsets and undergarments.

Also, the other mods and I have been discussing the possibility of holding contests. We're hoping to hold our first contest around Christmas, only we don't really know what to do for prizes. If anyone would like to donate prizes, please send us a note! If you have ideas for what we could use as prizes, then just leave a comment in this journal

Forum Event VI: Corsets and Undergarments: There's a lot that can be said about corsets alone, but we figured it'd be good to let this discussion include all other types of undergarments as well. In hopes of generating an interesting discussion, I went on YouTube just to see if I could find anything interesting about corsets. I found this (2 part video):

Part I: [link]
Part II: [link]

Watch both parts. You'll find this amusing since the whole thing is just ridiculous. Really. Taking a 21st century woman who's never worn a corset before and then forcing her to wear one for 2 days is just an accident waiting to happen >_>

Hey, Everyone! ~Seitou here to update you on the latest news and start the new forum discussion.

As you may have noticed, we're going back to holding Forum Events once a month. It's what many of you wanted and it's just easier for all of us that way... and we won't run out of discussion topics as quickly But I hope more of you will participate in discussions. Even if you feel like you don't know enough about the topic to discuss it, you can always ask questions and that may open the door for further discussion Anyway, on to the new topic!

Forum Event V: Fashion in Films. This is something we're all familiar with... I hope chances are, if you've joined this club, then you've seen period/historical/costume flicks before. Costume flicks may even be what sparked your interest in historical fashion. However, in most cases, costume designers take many liberties with their designs and most of the time costumes in films are inaccurate, as beautiful as they may be.

So, anyone have any favorite costume flicks? Any that you absolutely hate? Ever watch a really bad costume flick just for the sake of oggling the beautiful dresses? *is guilty of this*

Hi everybody, *KingAndrewI here, just reminding everybody to please not fav the deviations from the gallery. We have been having difficulties with this lately, and we simply do not have the time to note every person who is doing it every time. If you like one of our submissions, go to the page of the original(the link is always provided), and fav and comment there.

~Seitou here again! Okay, so I'm starting the new debate topic a day late... but things have been hectic lately. Essays, presentations, finals, and all sorts of good fun. </sarcasm>

So, let's get started on the next debate topic, which was inspired by a conversation from one of the past forum events: hats & hairstyles. Hats amuse me terribly. They used to be such an essential part of any man's or woman's outfit, but now hardly anyone wears them...

Also, check out *Idzit's club: We'll also be going back to holding polls for the next forum even topics. Feel free to suggest topics you want to discuss!

Hopefully, I'll be around to take part in this discussion

Hiya, everyone! ~Seitou here again, and it's time for the 3rd Forum Event. If your not already familiar with this, it's really quite simple. Twice a month we pick a topic and then we dicuss it here as a community :3

Also, I'd like to call everyone's attention to two awesome clubs here on DA: ~BringBackHats-Club and ~Victorian-Novels Be sure to stop by their pages because they need some love.

Forum Event III: Extreme Fashions. There's a lot of stuff out there to discuss since pretty much every fashion era had some sort of extreme style, whether it was huge paniers, giant bustles, or super-tight corsetting. Feel free to discuss any aspect of extreme historical fashons and have fun! :33
