    Researching the color red a lot lately. Basically, I'm in love with cochineal, the little bug that when dried & ground up, gives off a bright red color full of carminic acid. Its history even includes pirates stealing cargo to obtain it!

    18th century red coat, likely dyed with cochineal.

  3. Darling c1955 bathing suit by Carolyn Schnurer. Made for her "Destination Norway" collection, the cotton fabric used is reminiscent of a Norwegian geometric tapestry. Dreaming of warm days, frolicking poolside with a cold drink!

    In spite of being a formal portrait in which the sitter, Elizabeth de la Vallée de la Roche, portrays not only her virtues but also her family status, this is also an astonishing fashion snapshot. Look at the different types of fabrics and ribbons but most of all the... ⤵️

  6. One of my favorites - the robe à la française! This example is void of superfluous trimmings and the basic ruffles are the same bright canary as the rest of the dress. Stunning example of c1760 fashion. Bright, airy, and refreshing!

  7. c1819 cotton dress with wool shawl for warmth. Empress Josephine popularized imported Kashmiri shawls, but one such as this was most likely a European reproduction. A lovely yet muted palette, mixing lightweight cotton & a soft paisley motif wrap

    I should know this but I don't (could be a series ...): C18th fly braid (floss fringe?) usually matches the gown. Does someone know how this worked? Was the fringemaker supplied with silk by the weaver? Image: detail from gown A12410 not yet online

    Whilst the of the provided a riot of colour & pattern, there were quieter choices of dress as well. This muted grey blue silk relies on the diverse shapes of its silhouette for interest, tucked and pleated, crossed and gathered

    One of the details I love about Pre-Raphaelite paintings, especially Millais', is that you can see the grease and flatness of the unwashed hair that was really common. It's not flyaway; when washed with harsh soaps, it's frizzy. The Violet's Message, 1854

    Even the women of the Pre-Raphaelite group - more arguably the original hippies - didn't walk around with their hair lolloping about during the day. Jane Morris, the undisputed Romantic Hair Queen of the 19th century, contained her hair in everyday life.

    To start the in #2020 today's is Lucile's 1918-1920 Hope dress. Just after WW1, this dress uses green fabric to symbolize hope and rebirth. I too hope that this decade will be much better than the last.
