Apparently, parasol signals actually pre-date the Victorian Era, and the history of the parasol itself is also kind of interesting (at least, it is if you're trying to to stay awake at work at 1:00 a.m.). There's a nice summary at http://18thcand19thc.blogspot.com/2014/03/parasols-and-flirting-language.html<br /><br />And if you really want to study the different ways Victorians could subtly flirt with each other (though I have a hard time believing that balancing your fork against the edge of a cup would have gone unnoticed by one's fellow diners), you can spend quite a lot of time at http://18thcand19thc.blogspot.com/2014/03/parasols-and-flirting-language.htmlMirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966487848401662776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773501156791979952.post-90556324412199071772015-09-14T22:54:19.976-07:002015-09-14T22:54:19.976-07:00Wow, that parasol is a fantastic way to show off t...Wow, that parasol is a fantastic way to show off the doily!

I've never had the ...Your is coming along well! I've never had the guts to start a really huge doily like that, as I am not convinced I would ever finish it.<br /><br />The parasol is really pretty. I agree with you that it would probably work best as a wedding accessory. For practical use, I would think a lace parasol would need some sort of solid lining to actually be effective. Here in New Mexico, people do sometimes carry regular umbrellas to keep the sun off.<br /><br />On the other hand, I understand that during the Victorian Era, a parasol could have other uses besides mere sun protection. A young lady might twirl or fold her parasol in certain ways to send coded messages to her suitor without her parents noticing. (Fans and handkerchiefs too, of course.) You'll have to study up on this!Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966487848401662776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773501156791979952.post-67817132152702284552015-09-14T20:24:24.760-07:002015-09-14T20:24:24.760-07:00Yes a white one for a wedding with this style, or ...Yes a white one for a wedding with this style, or for Pairs maybe :)Madtatter80https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047145271493817811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773501156791979952.post-52006966701631158422015-09-14T20:22:40.250-07:002015-09-14T20:22:40.250-07:00I do think the parasol is pretty It reminds me of ...I do think the parasol is pretty It reminds me of an old movie I loved as a child Marry Poppins at the fair :) Madtatter80https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047145271493817811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773501156791979952.post-24844817676076580152015-09-14T20:15:37.661-07:002015-09-14T20:15:37.661-07:00Yea, I guess I have to make a pretty brown dress a...Yea, I guess I have to make a pretty brown dress and spin around with my doily /umbrella for a photo shoot, I am sure I will feel like it when I finally finish! ha ha ha :) In real life, I think this parasol would be best at a wedding Madtatter80https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047145271493817811noreply@blogger.com
