The 1870’s

I have chosen the 1870’s as the era for C.O.G. Chronicles. I’ve made an alternate history for the comic, and thus most of the real events of that era will be glossed over. What will be more closely regarded is the fashion of the time and looks of the city of Edinburgh in particular. I have found some varying resources, but some of the better ones online I found was these sites:

http://amyellecartwright.blogspot.com/2011/07/fashion-in-1870s.html – A london based costume designer who nails the 1870’s with words and photos.

http://www.bustledress.com/cgi-bin/z.pl/index.html – All things bustle and a great resource for looks!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress – Never knew Wikipedia could be useful? But it is! Lost of great plates and art form various times frames of the victorian era.
