Hi Mastodon, I am Epochs of Fashion - art historian, sewing lover, museum goer and looking for like-minded people who love a bit of niche historical knowledge. I post about fashion and social history!

Here’s a Terminology Overview of a medieval Houppelande gown and Hennin headdress! #fashionhistory #costumehistory #arthistory #medieval #historical #historylesson #historicalcostume #historicaldress #epochsoffashion

A gorgeous video of costumes from different Chinese dynasties. It’s from a fashion show/s so obviously the costumes are luxurious but… they’re just soooo pretty!!

“Chaldee Woman” taken from John Clark Ridpath’s “Great Races of Mankind” Vol III (1893).

The drawing is credited to Emile Bayard “From a photograph”.

@sewing has anyone ever made the 1720s wrapping gown from Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion 1? I've been working on a muslin today and I ~think~ I'm figuring it out, but I'd love to see a real life iteration. Or a blog post :blobaww:

Greensleeves update!
We have silk satin for the "gown..of the grossie green...sleeues of Satten hanging by" described in the song.
Ninya Mikhaila will make the gown, when we've worked out what it looks like...

This Belle Epoque gown I’m working on for a ball I have this weekend is what’s been keeping me busy the last couple weeks! #costuming #historicalcostume #fashion

Weather like this makes us appreciate modern conveniences so much!

Imagine dealing with snow in layers of cotton & wool, then hand washing and drying by the open fire.

How would a wool coat (if you could afford one) ever get properly dry from now to March?
