The subject matter may seem unusual for a male to talk about.A couple of weeks ago I was reading a blog(it's mostly about her sewing) and in a posting she said "I think I would find it quite amusing if any gentleman was reading a sewing blog".The quote got me thinking about my view of sewing and feminine clothing.
In the past I've watched shows like Little House on the Prairie and read books(with pictures) on the Amish and pioneer times.Though I enjoyed seeing the females wearing dresses,it wasn't something I thought too much about.I also liked female characters who were tomboys and wore jeans.
My view began to change when I discovered the YLCF last October.From there I found blogs and websites that discussed modesty,feminine clothing and other topics.One of the early blogs I found was http://maidensofworth.org/ Later on,I found some other blogs of people who make their own clothing for reenacting.Between Anna and Miriam's old-fashioned dresses and the Jane Austen movies,I came to appreciate females wearing dresses and skirts.It's funny how I now go outside and notice all the pants that are being worn.
Though males won't be interested in the techiques of sewing,I think it's important for them to appreciate the clothing made.Than they will prefer to see females wearing feminine clothing.

It's always to nice to know that there are guys out there that appreciate feminine clothing and the reason for wearing it.

The movie is Wives and Daughters.It's based on a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell who also wrote North and South.It's a movie you would like.The pictures I used are of Molly Gibson.She wears many pretty dresses in the movie.I have seen it twice.
Is there still time for me to e-mail you my thoughts on Jane Austen for your report?
Wives and Daughters is one of my favorites. It sticks very close to the book, as well.
North and South is pretty good, too.
Yes, please email me comments on Jane Austen. My Research essay is due the 29th. So please email me them soon!

That's a blessing to know that you appreciate feminine clothing. It's a joy to know that! I personally do make a dress/skirt for myself from time to time. They are fun to make and wear.
