Some real old school Hollywood glamour in a pool of silver lamé designed by Travis Banton for Mary Ellis. She wore the dress in the 1935 comedy movie Paris in Spring. Happy weekend all! #mfaboston #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I have long felt that Jean Dessés is an under rated mid century designer, a creative mind able to shape fabric into myriad forms through drapes and pleats and geometries. This #1950s gown is a burst of sunshine on this, the day of his birth #sandyschreier @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Blending in beautifully on Dartmoor for today’s Unsuitable Dog Walk Attire, bringing you Toshiko Yamawaki’s 1956 evening dress of purple silk with Japanese gold thread embroidery. The bell heather and gorse display is splendid right now #thekyotocostumeinstitute #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

One of my favourite images of Alexandra Princess of Wales catches her in the #1880s on board the royal yacht in what is likely a tailormade by John Redfern. The sailor suit is recreated in Redfern’s immaculate construction. You can read more in Dressing the Queen! Jacket #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A starry night walking home at the weekend reminded me of this fancy dress costume worn by Marjorie Merriweather Post in 1926, a dark sky chock full of beaded stars plus all of the sparkly accessories #HillwoodMuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

If this looks almost too perfect to be true then that is because it is. Rather than a full size corset, this is a miniature #1890s version likely used as a sales tool, proving that the commodification of perfection is an age old strategy #FIDMMuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Different versions of Dior’s 1949 ‘Venus’ dress survive in collections around the world. Each image offers an alternative perspective, aspects of construction that I hadn’t really noticed before. This #KSUMuseum really shows the distinction between soft layers & sequined scallops #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

1 - Welcome to #ThreadTalk! Get ready for #fashionhistory – it’s been a while, but I'm back. Today’s topic is All That Glitters – we’re talking about fashioning fabric with gold and metal, but especially real gold. Below, 1610-1620 - Dress of Electress Magdalena Syblla of Saxony.
From State Art Collection - Dresden - The golden yellow and salmon-red ceremonial dress with gold and silver lace follows the shape, nuanced colors and sophisticated decorative details of Italian women's fashion around 1590-1620. The tight-fitting, slightly protruding, pointed bodice is trimmed in dense rows with narrow gold and silver lace. It is closed at the front with concealed hooks and eyes. The skirt is buttoned to the bodice using numerous gold and silver trimming buttons. The slightly stiffened bodice embodies an early form of the so-called snail waist, which was to be a defining feature of women's fashion in the 17th century. The skirt - an overskirt - is open at the front and is effectively trimmed in several circumferential panels with wide and medium-wide gold and silver lace, into which drop-shaped silver sequins are worked. A second, representative skirt was effectively visible through the front slit and the long skirt slits, which were held together with ribbon roses (not known). The graceful star-shaped shoulder decoration is borrowed from the bridal and formal wear of noble Venetian women. The jagged tips flash with bright red silk pompoms. The tight-fitting salmon-red sleeves are fastened at the wrist with buttons. They are completely embroidered with scales and stars. The golden yellow wing sleeves above are decorated with lace and many small trimmings made of gold and silver thread. The accessories of the dress can be imagined as a high, fine white lace collar, lace cuffs of the same kind, and rich gold and pearl jewelry. The queens and princesses of the English and Danish royal families, as well as Maria de' Medici, Duchess of Florence and Queen of France, were particularly pioneers of the fashion represented by the dress shown. No other original examples have survived in this completeness and condition.

For decades, the pleating technique associated with Fortuny’s famous Delphos and Peplos designs were attributed to the man himself, but evidence shows that it was created by his wife Henriette Nigrin. It is all thanks to her that these shimmering wonders exist. #PalazzoFortuny #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

There is something about early #1910s silhouettes that I find deeply appealing. It might be the frequent asymmetry or the elongated skirts with the the directoire bustline. Or the sharp detailing perhaps. Whatever it is, I like it a lot. Blue velvet c1913 #thekyotocostumeinstitute #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Pain got the better of me yesterday (bloomin’ hips!) but an impromptu hobble along the sea front this morning helped me to regain some perspective. That and codeine. Imagining a stroll in an early #1950s Carolyn Schnurer frock @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
