Front Page
Before: One big, blended header at the top of the page featuring different period dramas around in a circle and in the middle "Elegance of Fashion" is in front of a picture of Pemberly from Pride and Prejudice. At first, there was one side bar with polls, poll results, lables (all jumbled together), blog buttons, and other miscellaneous things. A second side bar was added for tournaments. The background featured a scene from Pride and Prejudice where Elizabeth was touring Derbyshire with her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner. At the bottom was an award that I won for having a "Stylish Blog".

| New Header! |
Now: A not so blended banner hangs at the top of the page featuring many heroines from different period dramas. The Background is a picture of the castle that was used for Downton Abbey (considering the breathtaking photography, it makes a great addition). The links to the different pages are not at the left side bar. The Side Bars have been rearranged to hold different "sections" in them. The lables are not longer jumbled at the side bar but are now neatly sorted and easy to look through; however, all the labels can be viewed at the bottom of the blog. The Pride and Prejudice Wardrobe button has been changed to fit the side bars better. The awards section is still in the same spot as before.
And since my first layout was so well loved, I have documented it in this post!
Page Headers
Before: The title of the page would be similar to a regular blog post. There wasn't anything fancy before the introduction (excepting the Review Index, which had a banner at the top).
Now: All pages have a decorative banner at the top of the page (except the Banner page, Pattern Library, and the About Page).
Review Page
Before: There was only one banner on the page at the top. Period Dramas were filed under text that read "TV Series", "Miniseries", "Movies" and "Comics". Now: A new banner was made and put up and instead of the text headings for the different types of media (TV Series, Miniseries, etc.), there are now banners with pictures and decorative text.
Recommended Period Dramas
Before: A page that at the beginning of Elegance of Fashion, I had some period dramas that I liked, but never updated much afterwards.
Now: A more current page of my absolute favorite period dramas and a description of why I like the different period dramas listed on that page and some information about each one.
Goodies!
And, since this is kind of a big event at Elegance of Fashion, I have made a couple of more goodies for you to look at and use on your blog! Blog Buttons, Banners, and some other little Extras to put on your blog if you wish! Have a look at the Banners, Blog Buttons, and Extras pages! But here's a little preview of the goodies. Make sure you check the Banners, Blog Buttons, and Extras page.

Extras
And I Have a Signature!
And in addition to all of this, I now have a little signature picture at the end of my posts (though I think I'll keep the signiture off for the reviews).
And this is also my 200th post!
Thank you everyone for being so supportive and for reading my blog!
