Edwardian is relatively new for me, too, and I have to admit my interest is.... only vaguely for historical accuracy? I think because I see a huge potential for *actually* wearing Edwardian as normal clothes. Especially the teens. I mean, it's kind of close enough that people would just think I was quirky (which, they probably already do, so may as well live up to it). Oddly, I think I'm starting to love the look of the teens over the bustle era, which I didn't think I'd ever do. With my time constraints, I need to pick and choose my eras, and the multi-use possibility of the teens is very appealing.
So I'm fine if they're "historical-ish," ultimately, but I am curious to hear whether or not they're a close interpretation...
