Fainting couches were necessary due to the corsets.
Pink is the new pink. Always.
It's the parquet and pink room at the kaiservilla in bad ischl
Though hardly a “girlie-girl,” as a trendsetter I have to admit, rose flattered me much more than, say, yellow. It brought out the health and vitality in my cheeks (thanks to my regime of drinking a vial of stag blood each day, I was spared much of the anemia that befell other royals). Deep-toned pink suggests femininity, but points also to romance, energy, fascination, and, naturally, beauty.
Note: this short-waister accentuates the bosom, rather than hiding it. Jus' sayin...
I filled my apartments with shades of pink. The salon in my summer home boasted pink upholstery. The lying-down room at the Hof. Ballgowns and bedclothes and schnitzel with noodles…oops! wrong pull.
Anyhow, no discussion of pink is complete without mentioning the unmentionables, yes? I owned many a salmon-hued corset: frilly-edged or plain, it mattered not, as long as the busking was of good baleen or cane, and the grommets were made of steel!
