Interesting story. I have an amateur's interest in vintage fashion, mostly for swing dancing, though if I could, I would totally go old-school Victorian gentleman, it really appeals to my sensibilities.

That would be wonderful! I have dreamed about creating a Victorian Supper Club where we would meet in costume and eat at a formal table designed to replicate as closely as possible the table at a particular Victorian dinner and would serve menus recreated from famous recorded menus from specific dinners from the 19th century. So each event would send a formal invitation in the mail with a date such as, "July 18, 1861. The Victorian Supper Club kindly requests the company of Mr. Cupid Zero at a dinner to be held at Such-and-such location."
By the way, I am still an amateur. I have never formally studied these periods of clothing (thought I've thought about taking classes) and I really only hit the tip of the iceberg in terms of my sales.
I am in...love that era....

Me, too. And in these increasingly informal times I am in love with formality. There is a huge lack of it in today's society that I think a lot of people crave.
I so agree...need to have you over for dinner just to use my mom's china :)
Sounds great. What pattern is it?
You are the aficionado sweet girly, I have no idea...just think it is pretty! we used to go to the Bahamas a lot for labor day or memorial day many years ago when I was a little girl and she would always get a new place setting while there as I guess it was less expensive...It is ivory with gold trim..The gold trim has a swirly design...She also bought it at Jordan Marsh, probably before your time.
Have a great day!
That sounds gorgeous. I love ivory with gold color pattern. What a luxury - not only a vacation in the Bahamas, but coming back with beautiful dishes. I'm going to look up Jordan Marsh.
