#Ootd is this 2014 Maison Margiela ensemble consisting of a bodysuit made of 18th-century silk lampas (a drawloom woven fabric usually with metallic gold or silver threads) and a chiffon silk embroidered with coins, some antique. Reusing fabric was a common and expected practice

Bonjour from Madame Lasserre, maison de confection, about 1883. Via Palais Galliera.

A digital sketch of two Black lesbians in 1830s dress. The figure in a pale gold-ish gown with voluminous off-shoulder elbow length sleeves & a low neckline stands behind her lover, arms wrapped around her with eyes downcast & a soft smile. She has a dainty piece of gold jewellery with a blue stone around her forehead & gold drop earrings. Her hair is parted in the middle, curled at the sides and a bow-like construction at the back. The girl in front wears a pale pink gown with wide neckline & cream details, the sleeves are short but poof out. A cream sash with a bow is tied at the waist. She is holding on to the arms of her lover around her, looking back with an open smile. Her hair is tied up and parted in the middle with ringlets. Both ladies wear cream gloves.

Always coming back to my love of Gothic horror book cover art.
Is she a vampire or a vampire hunter, what do you think?

If you see this, post a sword 🗡️

Redraw of the "Pondering my Orb" meme (featuring the art of illustrator Angus Mcbride for Middle-Earth Quest: A Spy In Isengard, a role-playing game based on The Lord of the Rings from the 80s.) The redraw features Crow Time characters looking at a blue shining orb.

It's time to PONDER fellas!

Image ID: Digitally drawn black and white comic page. The comic features Margie the medieval cat-goose dragon causing trouble across a medieval convent - stealing fish, making a nest of illuminated manuscripts, being a trip hazard and guzzling sacrimental wine. The Mother Superior of the convent gets increasingly frustrated until she finally bans Margie, setting up a clear 'no margie' sign outside the convent.

Margie is off to a rocky start at the convent

My good neighbor saw me taking flower by the sidewalk and I got invited to see some other peonies that just started blooming.

Ink drawing of a mermaid sitting atop a perpendicular, tree trunk-like rock in the water. Her long hair trails right down to her seat and obscures her face entirely. Her head is bowed, and there is a strong suggestion that she may be weeping.

An older piece but a perennial favourite.

Making the most of an electric blue silk skirt with not one but two bodices, catering to all events from day to night. Many garments from the 1860s were constructed in this way to maximise wear, adaptability in action @jbrightcollection.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Pink in all senses of the word in this #1840s evening dress. Not only is the fabric itself a vibrant pink but the edges of the ruffles are ‘pinked’ or punched into the distinctive clipped edges, trimmed with self coloured satin stitch embroidery @historicdeerfield.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

People have asked elsewhere, but I did not make up this little poem. It's supposedly a traditional fairy tale ending, though I've never seen it attributed to any particular region or culture. I just like it.

For this week's #FridayFrills, we have another 1955 gown with extraordinary metallic threaded embroidery. This one is from an unknown designer, although I thought it was Dior when I first saw it. The crossed bodice that appears to emerge as a long sash that comes out of the waistband is to die for.

Gift of Mrs. William D. Tucker, 1978

All the greens, reflective of the emerging shades at the moment, fresh verdant leaves, ferns and stems unfurling in variegated abundance. Mid #1870s designs such as this were similarly varied in colour and trim @chicagomuseum.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

French painter Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun was born #OnThisDay in 1755. In 1783, she painted Marie Antoninette wearing a robe en chemise, also known as the chemise à la reine, similar to this Indian cotton muslin example from the Manchester Art Gallery collection. #fashionhistory #art
