In this final, haunting painting, The Wedding Dress (1911), a widow is again clothed in mourning attire, whilst grieving next to her wedding dress. The artist, Fred Elwell depicts the texture and textile of her satin gown through the use of light and shade in this private scene, and in similarity to the previous painting, the wedding dress symbolises intense loss. An upsetting irony is that the sitter for this painting, Violet Press, lost her own husband in the First World War, after a very short marriage. @hull_museums has two posts dedicated to the history, analysis and symbolism of this painting on their website.

Details from an 1895 skirt suit, @vamuseum. The tailor of this suit has moulded the cloth to follow the curves of the bust, hollow of the waist and the prominence of the hips. By the 1870’s, the tailoring look for women became popular, therefore techniques used to cut men’s suits were transferred and adopted to suit and fit the female body. Darts and seams provide the required contours, and have been skilfully pressed into shape. The green velvet and rich blue wool add luxury to the suit. #fashionexhibition #fashionhistory #fashionstudies #fashionmuseum #dressmuseum #dresshistory #costumemuseum #costumehistory #historyoffashion #historyofdress #historyofcostume #1800sfashion #womenstailoring #19thcenturyfashion #victorianfashion #fashionhistorian

An example of how the colour of a garment can transform over time - this Lucile @hillwoodmuseum 1919-20 wedding gown was originally lavender or periwinkle organza. It has now faded (although nevertheless, still wonderful). The inserts of the banded lace, the satin-sash waist, and asymmetrical closure and organic, vinelike decorations are typical of the designs produced by Lucile. #fashionexhibition #fashionhistory #fashionstudies #fashionmuseum #dressmuseum #dresshistory #costumemuseum #costumehistory #historyoffashion #historyofdress #historyofcostume #1910sfashion #1920sfashion #fashionhistorian #historicalwedding

Dovima in perennial favorite, the classic two-button suit in navy Palm Beach cloth by Sacony, orange chiffon scarf by Mr. John, jewelry by Cartier, Vogue, February 1, 1953. Are the buttons on your jacket on the left side or on the right? There’s actually a pretty easy answer: if you wear women’s clothing, the buttons are on the left side of the jacket, if you wear men’s jacket, the buttons line up on the right side. But which is the reason for such difference? Like many old customs, no one’s really sure how the button-side switcheroo came to dominate fashion design. But according one of the more popular theories, it might have to do with how middle- and upper-class European women used to dress. During historical periods like the Renaissance and the Victorian Era, women’s clothing was often much more complicated and elaborate than men’s - think petticoats, corsets and bustles. But while rich men often dressed themselves, their female family members most likely had servants to help them put on their clothes, both out of luxury and necessity. To make it easier for servants to button up their employer’s dresses right, clothiers might have started sewing buttons on the opposite side. Eventually, as clothing became more and more mass-produced, women’s clothes kept being made with the buttons of the left, and the design became standard. That’s one explanation for why women’s clothes button on the left - but why would men’s clothes always button on the right? That particular tradition might have roots in how men once dressed for war. Just as wealthy women needed servants to help them get dressed, men’s clothing might have taken cues from military uniforms. To insure that an enemy's lance point would not slip between the plates, they overlapped from left to right, since it was standard fighting practice that the left side, protected by the shield, was turned toward the enemy. Thus, men's jackets button left to right even to the present day. #dovima #vogue #50s #2buttonsuit #cartierjewelry #navyjacket #historyofcostume #reinassance #victorianage #sacony #palmbeachcloth #fashionlegacy

Was looking through the @mfaboston collection and found this collection of paper dolls, all dated from 1895. They have all been designed by lithographer G. H. Buek & Co, and show a variety of day and evening dresses, all with impressive gigot sleeves. Some magazines during the 19th century offered paper dolls for women and children. When chromolithography produced paper dolls of vibrant colors, the toy became even more popular in the 20th century, especially the dolls made of the new celebrities of movies, radio, and television. (Description paraphrased from The Strong National Museum of Play). #fashionexhibition #fashionhistory #fashionstudies #fashionmuseum #dresshistory #dressmuseum #costumemuseum #costumehistory #historyoffashion #historyofdress #historyofcostume #paperdolls #19thcenturyfashion #19thcenturytoys #papercrafts #fashionhistorian

1911-13 @hillwoodmuseum Edwardian gown, with multiple layers of silk lawn. Lawn is heavily trimmed with bands of lace, clear bugle beads, a pale pink satin ribbon and bright pink ribbon flowers. A turquoise satin waist sash goes around the waist, fastened on the left side with a decorative oval medallion, which echoes the same pink ribbon flowers used to trim the underskirt. #fashionexhibition #fashionhistory #fashionstudies #fashionmuseum #dressmuseum #dresshistory #costumemuseum #costumehistory #historyoffashion #historyofdress #historyofcostume #edwardianfashion #1900sfashion #fashionhistorian #fashionconservation

Men’s doublet and breeches with cloak, @vamuseum. The doublet and breeches date to 1630-40, and is the ensemble I posted a few days ago made from the recycled bed quilt. The cloak dates to 1580-90, and would have been an expensive part of a man’s wardrobe. The precious and costly velvet would have made a dramatic impact when the individual bowed or left the room. #fashionexhibition #fashionhistory #fashionstudies #fashionmuseum #dressmuseum #dresshistory #costumemuseum #costumehistory #historyoffashion #historyofdress #historyofcostume #tudorfashion #museumcollection #menswear #fashioncuration #fashioncollection
