I am excited to present my paper about William Burges + 3rd Marquess of Bute at this fantastic conference, and honoured to be included in such a stellar programme of speakers 🌟 Please join us 19-20 June!

[Dr Maddie Hewitson @MaddieHewitson]

Registration is open for Burges & Friends, a conference exploring the networks and connections of the Victorian architect and designer, William Burges. An amazing programme of speakers and hopefully, the start of a new generation of Burges scholarship.

👠 If the shoe fits! 👠
These gorgeous shoes were worn by Augusta, the 4th Marchioness of Bute in 1937, and they were made specifically for the coronation of King George VI @Annelise_Lloyd 🧵👇👑 #DressHistory

✨ Student Takeover ✨ Curious about Court Dress? 

The Bute family has been attending royal coronations for centuries. Our current research project dives into the history of the coronation robes housed by the Bute Collection. @Annelise_Lloyd🧵👀 #DressHistory

My favourite item belonging to Lord Mountstuart! ⭐️ The jacket was possibly acquired during his trip to Spain in 1791. This type of jacket is associated with the ‘majo’, whose traditional dress was appropriated and idealised amongst aristocratic Spaniards during the late 18th c.

[Mount Stuart Trust @mountstuart]

How dazzling is this silver-embroidered waistcoat belonging to John, Lord Mountstuart? This patterned silk waistcoat is a small yet impressionable feature in Thomas Lawrence’s portrait of Lord Mountstuart. @femmesoffashion 🧵👇#DressHistory
