Elizabethean Fashion
Dos & Don’ts for the
Modern Woman

DO: Neck Ruffle
DON’T: Petticoats

Neck ruffles can hide everything from aging to hickeys. Petticoats, however, only make your hips look bigger. And no one, except Keira Knightley, needs her hips to look bigger.

DO: Oversized Sleeves with Pockets
DON’T: Chain Girdle

Yes please (!) to tucking your cell phone or tablet right into your sleeve. How handy. But no thanks to weighty undergarments that will only hold you up in airport security.

DO: Embroidery
DON’T: Fur

Stitchery over sable. Think gold and lush for just the right touch of luxe, not soft and furry, because that’s just asking for trouble from PETA.
