made, as this dress has both machine and hand stitching in it. By saving time and labor, dresses were then able to be more elaborate like the lace detailing and small pleats. #Fashionhistory

Ball gown, Netherlands, 1760

The widest dress at Kunstmuseum den Haag!
Floral motifs on silk, with lots of cool features: the skirts supported by panniers; decorative apron in silk passementerie; & lace sleeve ruffles. Strange to modern eyes, but lovely.

Museum photo of a formal ball gown. Its made of light blue silk woven with multicolored floral motifs. It is an example of a mantua, consisting of an overdress with a fitted back and a separate skirt. This one also has a decorative apron made of silk passementerie. Lace trimmings and lace sleeve ruffles were then added around the neckline and sleeves. The skirt is about 3 feet wider than the wearers hips on each side, making for a huge visual impact.

fabric austerity this loose fitting outfit featuring wide shoulders, a long jacket, board labels, and baggy pants that taper towards the ankle was seen as subversive and antisocial. Also, see this picture of Rayfield McGhee in a zoot suit in Tallahassee, Florida. #fashionhistory

Bringing a bright note to Friday & an #1840s dress that is pink in more ways than one. Not only is it a brilliant rosy shade, it also has pinked edges, cut with special shears to create additional forms. Some self coloured satin stitch embroidery is the final touch #HistDeerfield #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

When Victor Stiebel designed this navy silk dress for Jacqmar in 1954, he built in some adaptable decorative features. There are two different collars and two different coloured floral corsages to mix and match as the mood takes you #V_and_A #FashionHistory

This week's #ThirtiesThursday garment is this Lucien Lelong evening dress in the most gorgeous green silk velvet. Dating from 1934, the dress was worn by Jane Taussig and later donated to the Chicago History Museum collection. #fashionhistory

Girl's dress, 1750, Kunstmuseum den Haag

I love this. Nearly 300 years old, and the green silk is as vibrant as ever. What a startlingly beautiful thing this must have been back then, and for quite a young (12-14) person too.

Museum photo of a rococo (maybe?) style girls dress, primarily in green silk. It has a close fitted bodice, with a very broad scoop neckline. Beneath this, covering the upper chest, is a white fichu. The sleeves are three quarter length, with lace trimming at the ends. The waist is tight and decorated with some 15 or so horizontal bands of fabric in various pastel colours. There is a small peplum over the hips in the same green silk, and the skirt below this is full length, enlarged considerably at the hips with some underlying structure, and has deep pleats at the top, allowing it to hang very nicely.

wondered if something in sapphire blue with diamonds might not be outstanding in a large group of beautifully dressed women...do ask Mr. Dior to do something extra special." This was the result- she wore to the Vienna Opera House, which was recorded in LIFE. #Fashionhistory

In 1945-46, America saw the 'nylon riots'. DuPont had switched nylon to parachutes during WWII, and when stockings returned, demand exploded: in Pittsburgh, some 40,000 people queued for just 13,000 pairs and fights broke out. #FashionHistory

The graded shading that radiates outwards from the hip has created the impression of a firework launched into the night sky in a starburst of silver. You can almost hear the crackle of the sparks as they fade. Early #1920s #PalaisGalliera #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
