So, I have officially become obsessed with the gorgeous Queen Sirikit of Thailand. Therefore, this week's #FridaysFrills is this white silk gown by Pierre Balmain in 1960. The embroidery is from the House of Lesage, whom Balmain worked closely with. #FashionHistory
Today's #ootd is this 1791 wedding dress. Yes, this is a wedding dress! The mini-corset on the outside makes this look more like a Renaissance movie costume than an actual historical garment. Has anyone else seen examples like this? @NGVMelbourne #FashionHistory
This week's #TsarinaSaturday is this 1890s visiting dress. It has the era's characteristic gigot sleeves, high neck collar, and prominent S line silhouette. In the other picture, you can see her wearing a very similar outfit #FashionHistory
This week's #FridayFrills is this 1760-65 Robe a la Francaise. Let this dress be your little ray of sunshine during these difficult times. Also, check out @LACMA's amazing digital collection! You can spend hours there. #FashionHistory #StayHome
Today's #ootd is this 1786-89 "redingote" or frock coat. The style was taken from men's riding coats, which gradually became acceptable everyday attire. It then creep into womenswear, where they would wear a gown or overcoat and a skirt of a contrasting color. #FashionHistory
Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Today’s #ootd is this 1909 dress from Maria Verhaeren of New York. International Women’s Day was first celebrated in New York on Feb 28, 1909. So I like to think that a woman wore this dress at that time. #fashionhistory
This week's late #TsarinaSaturday is this 1898-99 maternity dress. It was worn when Alexandra Feodorovna was pregnant with Maria Nicolaevna, her third daughter. This dress also has the exact same colors as my childhood bedroom! #fashionhistory
Today's #ootd is this lovely 1865 afternoon/evening dress by Mme. Olympe. It is very similar to a 1862-5 Worth & Bobergh dress that I highlighted a couple weeks ago. This isn't very surprising as Olympe used to go to Paris to keep current with the latest fashions #FashionHistory
Today's #ootd is this 1870 Worth dress. Women's fashion was contingent on the time of day, with women gradually revealing more skin as the day went on. Interchangeable bodices made changing easier. Learn more on @Dressed_Podcast's History Mystery 40 #FashionHistory
This week's #MerriweatherMonday is Marjorie's 1905 magnificent traveling suit. She got this outfit as a part of her wedding trousseau after she married her first husband, Edward B. Close. They went to Hot Springs, VA for their honeymoon. #FashionHistory
