PLEASE NOTE: Numbers are above, not below, the icons, and please tell me which icons you're taking, not "snagging a few!" because I really am of a curious nature and I'd like to know what's popular. ;-) Thanks!

I am saving #14. (: I hope I can find many more icons from fashion plates. I'm falling in love with them after seeing them in a few challenges these past couple of weeks. :D

Glad you like. ;-) I've done a few, but most of them are in this batch. There's the icon I'm using now, and the "something old" one in my latest batch of icontest entries. I think that's all I have up right now.

They're wonderful, aren't they? I bought myself a book of La Mode Illustree fashion plates from the Victorian and Edwardian eras and I just drool over it...

La Mode Illustree, hm? I just joined that community here on LJ! I looked up fashion plates in the interests, and that community came up. (:

lamodeillustree

You should make more! :D

Oh, I'm watching that community! :-D

THIS (http://www.amazon.com/Victorian-Edwardian-Fashions-Mode-Illustree/dp/048629711X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204097798&sr=1-2) is the book that I have.

I know! I'll just add it to my humongous list! ;-P
