@2fingerswhiskey has a Pinterest that's got sections for most historical eras, and the modern historical eras are split by decade.

Found it, this is one of my favourite sites for any CC, not just historical! 💖 Thanks for the recommendation @asimplevampire!

Mystery Inc. but it’s the 1890s

Who had late Victorian Scooby Doo on their 2024 bingo card? Hmm?

The idea came to me when I was thinking about Sherlock Holmes and then remembered the iconic mystery solving gang hehe

This Pinterest board by J T is a must-visit for many eras of the challenge. It works best for the Medieval/Renaissance stage but has soooo much stuff for your kids and toddlers in the Roman era and others 💖 There's a lot of babies born in this challenge, so it's especially useful to avoid repetition.

Day Dress

c.1855

England

This type of widely protruding skirt that appeared around the middle of the 19th century came to be known later under the name of the "crinoline style." As can be seen with this dress, large design motifs proved immensely effective on these voluminous skirts. The border pattern here is wood-block printed and repeats every 20.6 cm. Compared to small-scale designs, large patterns require a solid technique to avoid misalignment of the print colors. Considering that this mixed fabric of silk and wool is a material hard to print on, this dress with its bright and cheerful colors is a particularly fine example on how much cloth printing techniques had evolved.
