My #ootd today is a little different. This dress was a costume designed by Kathleen May, Maude Marsh & André- Ani for Norma Shearer in the 1926 movie Upstage. It is super Art Deco, with simple striking lines that look absolutely gorgeous #fashionhistory
Today's #ootd is from 1911. A truly gorgeous evening gown that is made of satin with a yellow silk warp and a blue weft. The embroidery is made of golden metal thread with blue thread and blue glass beads. #GalleriadelCostimediPalazzoPitti #FashionHistory
This week’s #fridayfrills is not a subtle dress! It is a 1858 ballgown from @mfaboston. Look at all that pink!!! And it doesn’t stop there, she also has ribbons overflowing from her bodice and flowers on her skirt and in her hair. Beautiful but busy! #fashionhistory
Today’s #ootd is from Balenciaga’s 1948 spring/summer collection. He was inspired by Marie Antoinette, who “favored overdressed with swags anchored by roses.” @metmuseum #FashionHistory
Here’s a 1785-87 French pink striped silk dress @metmuseum. At this time women were highly corseted and their busts spilled out the top of the dress, hence the white silk to cover up the cleavage a little bit. #Fashionhistory
Sorry for the lateness. Here is the last of my unplanned but enthusiastically embraced green week. This is a 1730s green brocade dress from one of my favorite museums in the world @Fashion_Museum #FashionHistory
Today’s #ootd is an early Worth creation- 1862-1865, When Worth was still partnered with Otto Bobergh. Together they owned the shop, Worth & Bobergh (1858-1870). Perhaps, that is why this dress, although beautiful, does now look like a “typical” Worth outfit. #fashionhistory
Today's #ootd is an 1815-1820 Dutch striped gown @rijksmuseum. Their description of this dress discusses how although in the early 1800s sheer white dresses were in fashion, starting in 1815 darker colors also became popular. #FashionHistory
This week's #MerriweatherMonday is this 1929 Evening Dress. Its black silk charmeuse bodice, tulle skirt with a long train, and decorative rhinestones makes it look like something Madonna would wear #FashionHistory@HillwoodMuseum
Today's #ootd is this 1910 green and pink satin evening dress by Worth now at Bunka Gakuen Costume Museum. I especially love the gathered fabric in the back that forms the train. The back truly is the focus of this outfit #FashionHistory
