Sunday's Weather Rating: 3/10

What a great day to be indoors. High temperatures reach the upper 40s, but we've got showers and unsettled weather ongoing for almost the entire day. The vibes are very dreary out there!

If you were a woman in the #1890s trying to avoid other members of her household then a tea gown that blend in with the wallpaper might not be a bad idea. It is all bold voided velvet with a lace yoke in generous proportions, Jean-Philippe Worth @MuseumofCityNY #fashionhistory
