See?   Progress in small increments!

And you are warm, too!

Hope you are feeling better.

How about wearing "everyday clothing" from your chosen time period?
Not as much fun as a ball gown, but...

Just think, people may think you are making a "statement" or you are
just weird.  At least it would be a "good weird".

I've been doing something along those lines this winter. We've had a rather cold winter(by Pacific NW standards, ok, we don't have real winters here) and my fibromyalgia, arthritis and recent surgery have made me feel the cold rather badly. I have had my normal winter uniform of leggings under long skirts and boots, topped with layered sweaters just hasn't been working. For one thing, the fibro has been acting up enough that I can't stand to have most of my leggings next to my skin. So, I pulled out my 17th century drawers and long hose and petticoats and find that I am toasty warm, and the local Goth kids think I look cool and want to know where I got my stuff.
