For #LaborDay I'd like to acknowledge all the men and women that go behind the amazing creations that I show everyday. It takes many more than the one name on the label. Here are pictures of the haute couture ateliers from the early 1900s #FashionHistory

Today's #ootd is a 1865 c. dress. It was worn by the last Empress of France, Eugene, the wife of Napoleon III. She wore this when she and her husband went on a trip to Bordeaux. Here is a picture of Eugene from 1865 as well as a portrait from her younger days. #FashionHistory
This week’s #MerriweatherMonday is a 1927-32 dress, slip, and cape, which was commissioned when she lived in NYC with husband E F Hutton. The Hillwood wrote it “captures the flair of the Art Deco period of the 1920s with its geometric patterns and bright colors.” #fashionhistory
Today's #ootd is a 1917 white muslin dress from @KSUMuseum. It is endearingly sweet and I love a good yellow sash! #FashionHistory

Today's #ootd is a 1795 English woman's round gown. The round gowns of the 1790s was a precursor to the regency classical style. It has the 18th century front closing bodice with a fitted back but now the waistline is higher @LACMA #FashionHistory

Today's #ootd is a lovely 1912-13 House of Worth Woman's jacket. It is a jacket that would have been worn at home and its style is a combination of an 18th c. riding coat and a Louis XVI court dress. It was worn by Jane Norton Morgan, the wife of J. P. Morgan. #FashionHistory
Today's #ootd is a 1880 brocaded silk damask two piece gown. The fabric is a bit "much"and makes it look like a bathroom, but shows the attention to fabric and trimmings that reminds me of the fashions of the late 1700s. #FashionHistory
