There is something curiously bird-like about this gown, with a layered plumage cascading at the back. It is sumptuously described as being made from raspberry coloured lace, and is beautifully layered, crafted in 1958 by Jean Dessés #philamuseumart #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The drama of the mid 18th century encapsulated in structured silk. Pale Gros de Naples was chosen for its distinctive ribbed weave structure supplemented with a riot of florals. It is sculpted in such a way, it seems it could stand up on its own #MuseodelTraje #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Mantua court dress, 1747

I found another haul of old dresses, so lets go!

You may notice that the hips are slightly accentuated - a subtle touch, I'm sure you'll agree 😁

The bodice itself is quite beautiful, with the neckline ruffles a lovely touch.

Museum photo of a court dress in pale yellow and white silk. It has chinoiserie embroidery throughout, a pointed stomacher, and a square cut neckline trimmed with ruffles. The most obvious visual feature is the extremely enlarged side hips, extending a good 70cm or so from the bodice to the right and left. These enlarge the skirt considerably and are likely supported by hoops and panniers.

For your #MondayBlues, we have this lovely 1950s Balenciaga afternoon dress and jacket, owned by Elizabeth Parke Firestone. As with Dior, Firestone corresponded with Balenciaga for custom garments. Her favorite color was blue, hence this blue plaid. @thehenryford.bsky.social #Fashionhistory

The exacting nature of Charles James and his extraordinary pattern cutting is apparent in his surviving designs but also in the photographs of him at work. Here the #1950s brings his petal dress and an image of him finessing an origami-like ensemble @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I’d like to propose an autumn filled with plummy crushed velvet which feels entirely appropriate as summer has given way to chill September mornings here in the South West of England. It would feel like hoiking around your own cosy sofa. Late #1880s #museumatFIT #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

#Ootd is this 1950 wool flannel Dior suit that Elizabeth Parke Firestone wore on her trips with her husband to Europe for business. The suit is expertly tailored and corresponds to her measurements. I mean look at those curves! #Fashionhistory #FabricofAmerica #thehenryford
