how this outfit inspired by the basque era:
this outfit really stuck out to me because of the many elements that relate to this peryicular era.
for example, the wide sleeves, just like the woman wore also the the fitting of the body and also the v upside down reminds me of their v waist line. another element is that the hair is flat at top and ruff on the outside, nearly like the womans hair.  anothere element is the layer look, it looks like shes wear a three peice outfit, just like the womans wear when you can tell how much their really wearing, like a petticoat almost. also the colour yellow stuck out to me because it was a very common color for collars also one more element is the gather at waist.
