For Throwback Thursday, a blog post I wrote on a wedding dress in my 2021 exhibition, Elegant New York. Note that this is the earliest example of a gown with a maker's label, as far as I'm aware (take that, Charles Frederick Worth)! @fashionhistory @histodons

For Translation Tuesday, a newly-posted plate from the Magasin des Modes in 1787 depicting a woman "positioned to dance a minuet" in a caraco and petticoat. @fashionhistory @histodons

New video! We visit with the manager of the Bankfield Museum in a wide ranging discussion talking about their fashion collection, access to the collection and how it inspires reproductions and new fashion.

This is also reflected in the current exhibit.
