Mid-#19thc friends side by side, mirroring my current chapter. In Anne Sykes’s dress diary, her friend Fanny features frequently with swatches of dresses they wore together. These #1850s egs were worn to a wedding, female networks that have endured through cloth @ChicagoMuseum

Amazing new images of a dress that belonged to #QueenAlexandra and which has been recently conserved and mounted to show off the incredibly delicate #overdress embellished in silver by #HenrietteFavre. Now on display at Christianborg Palace, Copenhagen

[Worn On This Day @WornOnThisDay]

Worn #onthisday in 1984 by @Madonna to sing "Like A Virgin" at the first ever @MTV @vmas, at @RadioCity Music Hall in New York, NY. She later told @jayleno: “I lost my . . . white stiletto. . . . As I reached for the shoe, the dress went up. And the underpants were showing." #OTD

Love the simplicity and elegance of this dress. I may have to try my hand at smocking.

[Threads Magazine @threadsmagazine]

Fashioned out of ethereal silk chiffon, the dress gets its classic shape and distinctive texture from the diamond-stitched smocking in the bodice. Learn how to add smocking to your garments: https://t.co/lwqXJBSFnH

A mid #1880s reception dress that is just the shade of red as the #hawthorn berries that are crowding the hedges around us now. I might have to try making some hawthorn brandy for the first time, a warming tipple to banish chills @cincyartmuseum #fashionhistory

What it would be like to wear a gown like this.

[Lauren Deutsch @LaurenCDeutsch]

This week’s #fridayfrills is this beauty! It’s a 1805-1910 evening dress. This is one of my favorite dresses. The color. The detail. The sparkle. Absolutely fabulous. It’s unknown who made it but it was worn Queen Maud of Norway 🇳🇴 #fashionhistory.

[Dr Kate Strasdin @kateStrasdin]

Currently writing about printed cotton technologies in the #1830s & #1840s since Anne Sykes’s #dressdiary is full of roller printed cottons that would have been fashioned into dresses like this. Broad Oak & Primrose Printworks are two of the mills mentioned @V_and_A

[Sewing & Fitting Mentor @MentorSewing]

Wow! Just wow!

Women’s #tailoring mirroring their aesthetics of their male counterparts in the #1890s here, the fabric pattern scaled down to accommodate the smaller torso and tapered waist but in other respects following contemporary masculine details @JBCollection_uk #fashionhistory
