Several illustrations all dating to 1930, by Jean Charles Worth for House of Worth. All depict designs for court dress with an emphasis on long trains. I chose the first illustration in particular as it includes a fabric swatch. I like the addition of tactile material. @V_and_A

Whilst going through the @metmuseum I found this 2014 Valentino gown. It really is a walking piece of art, with the intricate Adam and Eve allegory depicting all of the illustrated wildlife. I particularly like the peacock on the back of the skirt.

Throwing Off Her Weeds, Richard Redgrave, 1846. A young woman is eager to discard her black mourning dress in favour of new clothing, as she plans to marry again. Clues in the painting indicate this desire - a bridal bonnet in the hat-box in the foreground, and a sprig of 1/2

Was looking through the @mfaboston collection and found this collection of paper dolls, all dated from 1895. They have all been designed by lithographer G. H. Buek & Co, and show a variety of day and evening dresses, all with impressive gigot sleeves. 1/2

N is for...neoclassical dress! Neoclassical dress was a rejection of Rococo fashion and style. Simplicity and regularity in design was favoured in comparison to Rococo, inspired by archaeological excavation and a renewed interest and love for classical art and architecture. 1/3

B is for...bertha. A bertha was a fall of lace or silk draping around the neck and shoulders, or, for those sporting a low décolletage, just around/off the shoulders. Berthas were most popular from the late 1830's onwards. (The Dictionary of Fashion History) @V_and_A @metmuseum

Happy Mother’s Day 🌸 Jeanne Lanvin had a very special relationship with her daughter Marguerite, reflected in illustrations featured in Gazette du Bon Ton. You can read about Lanvin’s mother/daughter illustrations on the blog (link in bio). 1922 Pierre Brissaud @mfaboston.

@NGVMelbourne fashion plate, hand coloured engraving, 19th century. Based on the fit and fashion of the dress, I would say it dates from the earlier part of the century.

#HappyMothersDay to all of our followers! I've posted some of these @mfaboston 1920's Lanvin lithographs from Gazette du Bon Ton before, but I think they're perfect for today. Lanvin's love for her daughter Marguerite was well documented, reflected in her designs & company.

Just had a brief look at the @FITfashionstory. Absolutely fantastic. What a brilliant resource for all students/researchers/academics. Has great opportunities for contributors later in the year - the essays, analyses of paintings and garments, are very informative. Well done!
