  1. Two-piece suit, USA, 1892 Absolutely incredible style here. The cut of the jacket is just sublime, and the embroidery (?) is a simple design, but massively elevates the overall look of the outfit. Just a perfect suit, I love it so much! #fashionhistory #dresshistory #fashionsky #ootd #TheMet

  2. Ball gown, British, Madame Elise, 1880 I am super tired so words are not flowing. But look, this is a very nice dress. The silk rose bouquet is really lovely against the gold trim, right? Madame Elise really knew what she was doing. #fashionsky #fashionhistory #dresshistory #ootd #TheMet

  6. Infant's dress in 'albatross' wool & cotton, American, 1845 Isn't this an incredibly well made dress for an infant? Check out the lovely detail in the frill work at the sleeves, the piping around the collar, and the gathering at the front of the bodice. #dresshistory #fashionsky #fashionhistory

  10. Court dress, Germany, 1828 The colour of this is pure fabulous, and the voluminous folds of the sleeves and skirt give it a really luxurious look. The detailing is metallic, which you can see in the close ups. Its a really beautiful thing. #fashionhistory #dresshistory #ootd #TheMet

  15. Top and skirt, Vivienne Westwood, 1986 This is just super - hoops aside, you could wear it anywhere right now and it would look amazing and not out of place. The slight texture clash of jersey and rayon skirt really works for me. From Kyoto Costume Institute #fashionhistory #ootd #dresshistory

  22. Evening dress, Lanvin, 1938 I actually don't know how to do this dress justice. I LOVE it, like all her designs. Interesting detail: the fabric isn't woven in horizontal bands. Its actually black velvet and white silk satin ribbon sewn onto the dress body! #dresshistory #fashionhistory #ootd

  25. Evening dress, Vionnet, 1929 Wouldn't this have looked beautiful in motion? There's so much to love - the 7-layered, zig-zag skirt, the circular appliqué on the top, the overall lightness of the look. Such a beautiful thing. From Kyoto Costume Institute. #dresshistory #fashionhistory #ootd

  28. Continuing transcribing the parts containing women's clothing in probate inventories from rural Skaraborg (a region in SW Sweden) in the 18th and early 19th century. It is both tiresome AND fun.

  29. So much pain today.
    Psoriatic arthritis: 0/10 stars, do not recommend.
    I am mending a blanket from Greenlandic wool that I bought in a charity shop, and watching a conference on Historical Clothing and Textiles in Northern and Eastern Europe.

  30. Renaissance revival dress, Gustave Beer, 1895, Vienna. I don't really know what makes it a Renaissance revival style. But I do know that the thick bouclé cloth is absolutely gorgeous - I really love it. From the Kyoto Costume Institute. #fashionhistory #dresshistory #ootd

  33. Woman's jumpsuit, in a hostess pants style. Rayon plain weave. Addie Masters, California, 1940. Held at LACMA. This is a real 'wow' piece for me. The cut of the trousers, the colour combination, the verticality. Its a really joyous garment. Love it 🥰 #fashionhistory #dresshistory #fashion
