Lasse Hallström’s Casanova is not fantastic, but it’s fun and charming and I liked it. Costume wise it’s pretty horrible, lots of outfits that look like cheap masquerade costumes and many ugly wigs. But there’s one exception and that’s Victoria, played by Natalie Dormer. Her outfits are beautiful and she was also by far my favourite character in this movie. I loved her. Some more pictures behind the cut.

I don’t remember where I found this so I have no information about it. Looks like 1770s.

I’m not sure this exhibition is still there, but earlier this year I visited Malmö museer, in Malmö, Sweden, and they had a small exhibition with a few 18th century clothes and objects.

Livrustkammaren, or the royal armory, is a great museum located inside the Swedish royal castle. They have some great 18th century clothes and things in their permanent exhibition, and at the moment they’re having an exhibition about shoes, many of which are from the 1700s. The rest of their stuff is fantastic as well though, one of my favourite museums.
More info can be found at their website.
