1890-1940 // portraits of lilith vatore

I wanted to try making wall decorations, so I made these and threw them into that massive painting from Vampires. It's sort of a mini decades challenge going from 1890-1940. Behold, the result:

My hc is that the Vatores were born in the late 1930s/early 1940s, so Lilith isn't actually old enough to have worn any of these clothes when they were first in style. I think she dressed up like it's old times and took a buncha pictures just to confuse people trying to figure out how old she is, but you may draw your own conclusions.

"A happy ending was imperative. I shouldn't have bothered to write otherwise. I was determined that in fiction anyway two men should fall in love and remain in it for the ever and ever that fiction allows." (Maurice – E.M. Forester, written in 1913, published posthumously in 1971)
