Have you ever wished you could travel back in time like something you’ve seen in the movies just for a day or so? Reading a classic novel or spending a decadent afternoon watching period dramas can take one to another world, another place, where everything seemed so much more wonderful than it might do today. It was a different world and it maybe as we look at it from our present standpoint, one that we would rather be a part of - at least for a short time just to try it out! Perhaps we just wonder what it was like at a different time in history and how it would have felt to have been a woman at that time, a man at that time or a child at that time. Perhaps you wonder what it would feel like to have to dress in the fashions of a particular era – donning something as wonderfully outrageous as say a Napoleonic naval captains jacket!
