#MerryChristmas and #Hannukah for all those who celebrate and just a happy night to all those who don't. Today's #ootd is a very special one. It is a 1895 Worth silk brocade dress with silver braiding and sequins. Truly heavenly! #FashionHistory
Today's #ootd is a wonderful sweet cranberry colored 1795 round gown. It is patterned with little blue and yellow floral designs that keeps the outfit fresh and modern #KyotoCostumeInstitute #FashionHistory
This week's #FridayFrills is a 1780 robe a la polonaise, which is a dress that is pulled up into three sections in the back. That and the gorgeous braided trimming remind me of curtains. Perhaps if Scarlett O'Hara was born 80 years older ;) @drouotdigital #FashionHistory
Today's #ootd is 1920s dress by Nadezhda Petrovna Lamanova. She was on (if not the) only designers to have made outfits for the Russian Imperial court and during the Soviet Union. She was jailed once but let go on the request of Maxim Gorky! @state_hermitage #FashionHistory
This week's #FridayFrills is this 1798-1800 French elaborately embroidered evening dress. It is a round gown that was made to look like an open robe from the pervious fashionable trend. It is sleeveless and so would have been worn with an underdress. @DARMuseum #FashionHistory
This week's #MerriweatherMonday is Marjorie's 1948-52 evening dress. It was designed by Eleonora Garnett, who lived a fascinating life! She was born in Estonia, moved to Moscow as a young girl and escaped to Shanghai during the Russian revolution. @HillwoodMuseum #FashionHistory
Today's #ootd is this 1889-1892 dress that was worn by Cara or Anne Rogers, daughters of a wealthy American industrialist. Cara became Lady Fairhaven when she married into British aristocracy. She then bought lovely dresses like this for herself & her sister. #FashionHistory
Today's #ootd is a sweet 1916 Lucile silk dress. Katherine Keith wore this to her wedding to David Adler. It echos the fashions of the 1770s. @ChicagoMuseum #FashionHistory
Today’s lovely #ootd to get you through #HumpDay is this 1890 Herbert Luey dress. All the lace and pleats! #fashionhistory
Today's #ootd is a 1798-1800 evening dress. #austenauthors wrote that this is a transition dress that shows the trend towards empire waist, but using silk and embroidery popular in the 18th century. @DARMuseum #FashionHistory
