We've all heard about how masculinity is in decline, men get effeminate, and depending who's telling that might bring the doom and end of the world. We all. The gloooorious, amazing J. Draper has made equally glorious video about the same words, the same panic in 18th century: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwoFajsD95k
Save the masculinity, go watch some history.

Fangirling around about my new victorian reproduction corset. Customs and VAT to get a handmade item from UK cost an arm and leg, but despite popular belief, it is incredibly comfy. Way better than most contemporary bras. Especially with linen shift underneath.

Milestone day on Patterns of Perfection website. 250 Georgian needlework patterns (majority from the Lady’s Magazine) now digitised and catalogued. Some metadata cleaning up to do but couldn’t resist sharing. Latest upload is thanks to generous donation from Melissa Roberts and my daughter/My article on my research on the patterns will be published on open access in Textile History soon. Enjoy! And let me know your favourites https://ladysmagazine.omeka.net #georgian #needlework #dresshistory

Had some really lovely feedback today from an article I wrote for Embroidery Canada (published a few weeks back) about domestic embroidery in the eighteenth century and the patterns in the Lady’s Magazine. Still have to pinch myself that I get to work in this area and connect with so many talented makers. #needlework #embroidery #dresshistory #womenshistory #georgian

How gorgeous is this? Love this recreation by Katherine Garrett Kirk of one of my favourite patterns from the Lady’s Magazine. This one is from 1775. It is for a work bag and you can see it and 200 others on my website Patterns of Perfection. #embroidery #georgian #needlework #ladysmag #dresshistory

I just wanted to paint these sweet fellows in some hot 12th century looks, as you do, so I did. I’d like to submit this as evidence that we should bring the bliaut back into fashion, yes?

I did these little fashion plates a few months ago, but there wasn’t a good time to post them together because wowee this lil painter got real busy. So here’s me remembering to share these two wearing a pair of fetching 18th century riding habits - such a good aesthetic, am I right?

Christmas decs #ladysmagazine style. Hoping to make 10 of these for friends and family. A commuter-friendly sewing project adapted from the crown design of a bonnet pattern in the 1812 Lady’s Magazine. #dresshistory #georgian #regency #sewing #embroidery #needlework #eighteenth century #nineteenthcentury #womenshistory

Day 30 of Stream Ink is Pattern!
Printed textiles have been around for a VERY long time, and they had an Absolute Moment in 18th century Europe and North America, with all manner of lovely printed cottons, from complex multi-coloured florals if you could afford them, to simpler, single-colour patterns. This little rat lady has selected a charming calico with which to make a nice new jacket in her mantua-maker’s workshop.#art #cute #whimsical #18thcentury #dresshistory #history #fashionhistory

Coming off our summer hiatus, FSW talks to Kate Strasdin about #dresshistory, the value of #storytelling, and how #luxury brands are preserving the artisanal nature of #fashion.
Very excited about this one as Kate is an absolutely lovely person and one of my favourite people to follow on social media with her unique take on dress history.
