Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

A familiar face in an unfamiliar place

Late July 1895 - Lausanne, Switzerland


The sun was shining on Violetta's last day in Lausanne, having completed her finishing at Brilliantmont and then spending a few extra days here with the various other young ladies before they all returned to their lives around wider Europe. Violetta was heading back to England this evening, and by a little scheming had found herself the last of her class in the town and with some time alone until her parents arrived to collect her.

Finishing school was very private and the ladies were only allowed to visit a very small and curated part of Lausanne. This suited her fine and was now to her advantage that there was noone here that recognised her as she walked down the street past various more middle class establishments. The anonymity was refreshing, even if it was just a tad unnerving. Although these were muggles and if she was in danger she had her wand she supposed.

The anonymity was essential for the last part of her trip to Lausanne. A friend , who just happened to be summering in Europe, had decided to spare her his afternoon. Just a few hours to walk and be a tourist here where nobody knew who they were.

"Victor!" she said with excitement and a beaming smile. "You made it, it is a delight to see you. Shall we?" she offered him her arm to crook. The could promenade a little, enjoy the swiss sun, perhaps some delicate chocolates and some cheese, all the things two young adults in a thoroughly innocent friendship migh take to their delight.

She was getting rather adept at lying to herself.
