I adore Marjorie Post but in this week's #MerriweatherMonday, we see how dressing up can sometimes go too far. In 1929, she went as an "American Indian" to a Fancy Dress Ball. Today cultural appropriation is a big topic around dressing up and Halloween especially #FashionHistory
For this week's #MerriweatherMonday, here is one of Marjorie's 1903-04 afternoon dresses. This dress' bodice is region breasted- referring to shirts that were gathered and pleated with excess fabric in the front. Another term for it is monobosom... #FashionHistory
Although not #MerriweatherMonday, for the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment, here is the outfit Marjorie wore when the NY State Woman's Suffragette Party meet with President Woodrow Wilson + a typical suffragette hat! @Dressed_Podcast #FashionHistory
