Friday Treat Time and a bright green silk chiffon evening dress by French couturier #LucienLelong to get us ready for #StPatricksDay this weekend! Dating to the early 1930s, it features a fashionable low-cut back and showcases the soft feminine silhouette of the period.

The original unfaded, more vivid purple made it even more lively.

[Dr Kate Strasdin @kateStrasdin]

This photograph of the model Dovima wearing early #1950s Claire McCardell is exactly the sunshiny vibe required today. Teaching is mostly hugely rewarding but just occasionally makes me want to scream into the void. I am welcoming the weekend with a sigh of relief @NGVMelbourne

@j49220559 @DADiClementi @spclsmthin It was not that tone originally - and yes, that looks like a colorized photo

[Fashion History Timeline @FITfashionstory]

This Callot Soeurs evening dress, influenced by Orientalism and the Directoire revival, embodies the latest trends of the time in its cylindrical silhouette and soft, unstructured look. https://t.co/cHGc67Oor4

@spclsmthin A great book I recommend highly - full of choice Hollywood stories from Mr. Dorleac's experience.

[Christian Esquevin @CEsquevin]

@EddieMuller Great to see the revived and CONTINUING classic TCM.

@spclsmthin And one of the most beautiful - a great talent and dancer.

@noircitymag @noirfoundation A few close calls In this category, but on the basis of Sterling Hayden's performance, I'll say ASPHALT JUNGLE

@IrishJayhawk66 Showing my age too. Although I got a driver's license and a car by the time I was 17, my car didn't always work, so I hitch-hiked over a good part of LA for the various jobs I had through high school and college. It was fairly easy to get a ride, and quicker than public transit

[Dr Kate Strasdin @kateStrasdin]

It is difficult to imagine gowns such as this in motion but the sliding shift of hues created by this early #1840s taffeta must have created a chameleon-like shimmer with each movement. Perhaps the hiss of gas lamps shone across its surface as the wearer twirled by #wienmuseum

[Dr Kate Strasdin @kateStrasdin]

A deep breath before plunging into a new week, Sophie Malgat sets the tone here in a 1951 evening gown by Paquin and photographed by Georges Saad. Purple meets teal in bright contrasts of both colour and fabric #fashionhistory #1950sfashion

[Dr Amy Lim @amylimart]

An exciting find in this letter from 1855: fabric swatches, bright as the day they were enclosed.

[Christian Esquevin @CEsquevin]

Unfortunately this beautifully designed costume for Raquel Welch was heavily altered for Myra Breckinridge because Ms. Welch wanted to show more of her legs.

@ctabesh It was like looking into the abyss after you and many of your team were let go. So happy you are back with the support of so many in the film community
