The #pelerine is a filmy garment that sits like a pair of angel wings on the shoulders in an expansive #1830s gown. The elongated #silhouette of this #whitetulle example highlights the #embroidery that is sketched upon its surface @DaguerreSVV #fashionhistory
When history collides with 2020! Here are Lizzie Tuckett, keen #19thc mountaineer, and her family in the #1860s in #crinolines and #facemasks to protect their complexions as they climbed. A bit spooky but I LOVE them! Courtesy of Frenchay Village Museum #womenrock
I’ll be sharing another YouTube episode today on the subject of royal dressers & how they contributed to the survival of garments in museums. They were hidden women and so this is a rare & tender portrait, Marianne Skerrett, dresser to #QueenVictoria by Rosa Koberwein, 1880 @RCT
A dress c1830 in mint green silk shows marked similarities to a fashion plate of similar date described as a walking dress. The features demonstrate that although seemingly exaggerated, fashion plates were not so very far from authentic @Fashion_Museum #1830s #fashionhistory
It seems that candy stripes were a bit of a thing in 1815 illustrated here in both image and object. The fashion plate is trimmed at the hem with florals whilst the surviving dress @artsdecoratifs relies on self-decoration ruffles #regencystyle #dresshistory
