Fashion Part 2

Found a timeline in fashion from the middle ages up until the 1980s
   
                               http://headoverheelshistory.com/

Wikipedia also had a nice timeline for fashions from 2000-2009

Fashion

I just did some recent research on Fashion, and I never knew that fashion design was considered to have started in the 19th century with a man by the name of Charles Frederick Worth.

Charles Frederick Worth was the FIRST designer to have his label sewn into the garments that he created.

The Death Sentence

       I googled "Death Sentence in Michigan" and I happen to find that Wikipedia has an entry on "Capital punishment in Michigan" at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Michigan. I don't really use Wikipedia as a source but I find some really good information this time. Wikipedia has a lot of facts that I could use in my research paper. I knew capital punishment was illegal in Michigan but I didn't know it has been this way since May 18,1846.
