A 1775 wedding dress

I created this Wedding dress for my king's wedding, but in the end the queen wore another dress... My Sims can take their own decisions. Anyway, I share here the dress, with mesh by faeriegurl included

Music history in the making

1750's ... a bit of history

We are in the time of enlightment and Encyclopedie was published during this era. Encyclopédie, ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers (Encyclopaedia, or a Systematic Dictionary of the Sciences, Arts, and Crafts) was a general encyclopedia published in France between 1751 and 1772, with later supplements, revised editions, and translations. It had many writers, known as the Encyclopédistes. It was edited by Denis Diderot and, until 1759, co-edited by Jean le Rond d'Alembert.(wikipedia)

But it was also the time to take arts a bit lighter. It's the rococo that brought light colours and textures.

Melodic 1720's

The modern piano (the pianoforte) was developed from the harpsichord around 1720, by Bartolomeo Cristofori of Padua, Italy. His new instrument had a delicate pianissimo (very soft sound), a strong fortissimo (a very loud, forceful sound), and every level in between.
The first upright piano was made around 1780 by Johann Schmidt of Salzburg, Austria. Thomas Loud of London developed an upright piano whose strings ran diagonally (in 1802), saving even more space.
