I am embarrassed to say that this pantsuit still had tags and was never worn.

A small tag with an interesting location. I was shocked to see "Made in Ukraine". Something I would NOT have glanced at 20 years ago.

This suit carries the quiet marks of the 1990s & 100% polyester, built to last, wrinkle-resistant, and ready for everything. The tag tells its own journey: Made in Ukraine, part of the #global #textile shift of the late 20th century when #clothing production spread across the world. All but gone today.

Sometimes the smallest label is a little time capsule stitched into fabric. Who would have guessed that I clean out my closet to find a garment made in now war torn Ukraine.

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

I've been experimenting with colorblocking with these sketches, it helps to form the overall silhouette before sketching or linearting.

Madeleine (1883) by Christian Krohg (Norwegian artist, lived 1852–1925). We are left to speculate, but it appears to be a fallen woman in a barren bedroom, sitting on a thin mattress and iron bedstead. Realism in the arts.

The instant I saw that there was an OFMD instance, I had to move to it. So hello, it's me, Chocolatepot.

If we're here, we're all #OFMD fans so it seems unnecessary to tag it, but! Tis the custom in intro posts. Also #GoodOmens, #WWDITS, #MDZS, #TGCF, #Moshang, #LesbianBlackbonnet (#gentlebend I will make this happen), #sapphic, #musicaltheater ...
