Modified Corn Starch

Modified corn starch (also called modified food starch) is an additive that's made by treating starch, which modifies one or more of its physical properties. This change may affect the texture, how fast it dissolves, or how easily it can be digested. The starch can come from corn (as stated) but can also be made from wheat, potato, rice, or tapioca. It's added to foods to act as a thickener, to acquire a certain texture, or to keep foods moist.

Modified food starch is typically added to processed foods such as sauces, pie fillings, and gravies. They're not healthy in the respect that they don't add any nutritional value to food, but they aren't harmful. People who have gluten allergies should stay away from this ingredient though, unless a food containing it is labeled "gluten free."

Social Restrictions in the Victorian Era

During the Victorian era, people placed an emphasis on social etiquette. Those who acted in a rude way or ignored the social restrictions of the era became a subject of gossip and often found themselves without invitations to dinner, events or parties. Victorian era social restrictions focused on modesty, polite introductions and avoiding displays of emotion.


Dress

  • Women wore dresses that extended to the floor. Women were not permitted to show both ankles at the same time. The only acceptable time for a women to reveal any of her ankle was when a woman crossed the street, walked up the stairs or stepped over a puddle. Women asked for assistance when sitting rather than lifting their skirts. Men wore modest clothing, bathed regularly and avoided wearing excessive amounts of perfume.

--way to be similar to a girl from Victorian period
  •  remember, their clothing covered their WHOLE body. Even the glimpse of an ankle is a stereotype "no-no.
  • "Wear Cloaks,not coats! Instead of coats, women wore shawls or cloaks when cold.
  •   Know the Length of skirts. As young as 4 years old girls must cover their knee and sixteen year old girls must cover their ankles. If you are in that age range, you have free to customize your skirts within that range.
  • Know the exceptions. One exception to full body coverings. Ball gowns or formal attire. You may show your shoulders and/or breast line.
  • Consider Bustles and Corsets. Corsets can have the power to crush your internal organs and lower sets of ribs, so as far a recommending them, most would not. Bustles were designed to hold the skirt up and a very modernized and simple way to make one is to tie a pillow with a belt under your skirt.
  • Wear Gloves are a total Victorian giveaway. Especially with lace, these gloves are a great way to show you love Victorian times. It really doesn't matter if its white or black, but black is the most Victorian-looking.
  • Wear brooches. Brooches are very Victorian. While people from Victorian time mostly wore ones containing plain silver or pearls, emerald is accepted, too.
  • Add a stylish hat. Hats make the look. If you find a very nice looking antique hat, buy it. You can wear it! It makes the look.
  • Stay way from bright colors.
  • Focus on pastels and dark colors.
