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

Long shot but does anyone know information about this dress (see picture)

TinEye (reverse image search) says that it's a "Black figured silk dress with high neck chemisette of cream lace, early 1890s (silk & lace)" from Bath Fashion Museum, Dated sometime between 1890 - 1895 ( ?? ) but I can't find it in the Museum online catalogue.

It also does not appear to be part of any public collection at the Louvre Museum in Paris

Fantastic to attend the preview last night of The School of Historical Dress's new exhibition "Blue" and see the c.1700-1710 mantua that they acquired *completely unpicked* alongside the reconstruction that I and seven other students of historical dress helped the School make last month.

The School of Historical Dress has announced the dates for the new "BLUE" exhibition in its series "Our Collections by Colour".

One star attraction will be the 18th century mantua that I and other students helped re-construct last month.

I will be visiting the exhibition preview on Thursday evening and will finally be able to share 'final reveal' photos!

I visited the #VADTartan exhibition at the V&A Dundee a few days ago and was very impressed with the broad range of objects displayed as well as by the diverse stories and viewpoints expressed through the interpretative materials. Here is a small selection of garments that caught my eye.

This exhibition runs through Sunday, 14 January 2024.

Last weekend, I examined the c.1707 mantua that will be the case study in my dissertation. It was altered in the mid-18th c. and again in the late 19th c. Design of this "bizarre silk" is attributed to James Leman of Spitalfields and the vibrant colours have not dimmed one bit!

This is the only known extant mantua of this period with Scottish provenance.
