Evening dress, Christian Lacroix, France, 1987

It still counts as fashion history, ok? 39 years ago is definitely history 😄
Anyway, I love this. Big hat, big skirt, big embroidery. You can't go wrong.

Museum photo of a short gray silk dress with black embroidered skirt, white ruffled bodice, and black satin straps tied in bows at the top. The skirt is extremely full and seemed to have layers of petticoats. The waistline is just below the bust, and is accentuated by a light green silk belt, with a chunky flat textured buckle in the same colour. It is worn with an oversized straw hat with square crown and very wide brim, which has a pink silk rose and green petals at the front.

Mourning but make it fashion. Whilst this c1820 gown is indicative of loss written into the very black of its seams, it also demonstrates an awareness of prevailing style with puff sleeves & gauzy layers. Is this a grieving wife or a Merry Widow? @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I often think of this as a sunrise dress, its fiery layers of tulle replicating the striations of early morning. Today I was treated to this display on my stroll through the lanes, mirroring the Callot Soeurs colours of c1910 #madparisfr #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

French painter and model Suzanne Valadon was born #OnThisDay in 1865. She was painted by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1885 wearing a fashionable purple dress in a similar style to this silk bustle example from the Albany Institute. Painting from Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes. #fashionhistory

#FabricofAmerica exhibit had a small display on practicality in fashion. Fashion relies on form & function as much as its style. People's needs move certain trends forward, as with this 1900 cycling outfit. Women began wearing bifurcated garments in earnest in order to ride bikes. #Fashionhistory

Oh this old thing? Just a spiralling ruche and casual drape of pink silk velvet broken up by a gold encrusted strapless bodice. Nothing to it really….. It is a 1948 design by Jacques Fath, post war glamour writ large #madparisfr #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Front view of slim draped pink velvet skirt with a strapless gold bodice embellished all over with gold sequins and beads. The pink velvet attaches to the bodice and then drapes over one shoulder to hang down the backBack view of the late 1940s pink velvet Jacques Fath gown which shows the drape of the skirt and the fit of the bodice but also the way the velvet hangs down over one shoulderA detail of the gold embellished bodice of the 1940s Jacques Fath gown edged top and bottom with the pink velvet

The c19th aesthetic obsession with all things ferny, scrolls across the brocade of this c1887 gown, the green panels interspersed with dashes of greenery around the bodice and layer of skirt. Some fancy smocking completes the decorative display #museumatFIT #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Printed leaves become appliquéd leaves the higher up the dress they travel. Blurry pastels become more defined and the edges frame the shoulders, finished with a pale pink bow. Pierre Balmain, 1954 #V_and_A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
