Infant's dress in 'albatross' wool & cotton, American, 1845 Isn't this an incredibly well made dress for an infant? Check out the lovely detail in the frill work at the sleeves, the piping around the collar, and the gathering at the front of the bodice. #dresshistory #fashionsky #fashionhistory

A museum photograph of an infant's dress. It is in pale yellow throughout. The waist line is defined by a solid horizontal band around the dress. The skirt spills out to all sides from this band, in nice folds. The top is short sleeved, with frills at the sleeve ends, and a strong gather in the front of the bodice.

Another C19th Dress and Textiles Reframed Network online event is coming up! Sunday September 28 is all about exploring research on women's tailored fashions during the long nineteenth century.

Court dress, Germany, 1828 The colour of this is pure fabulous, and the voluminous folds of the sleeves and skirt give it a really luxurious look. The detailing is metallic, which you can see in the close ups. Its a really beautiful thing. #fashionhistory #dresshistory #ootd #TheMet

Image 1.
Bright red, full length, court dress. It has a high waist, and very large puffed sleeves to the mid-bicep. The cut of the top gives the impression of a V shape, angling from shoulders to waistline, with a square cut neckline just under the collar bones. The skirt has many folds.
The big wow factor of the dress is the extensive metallic floral detailing. The whole front of the top is cover with this, and it also appears at the bottom of each sleeve, and covers the skirt from floor to knee.

Image 2.
Close up of the top of the dress from image 1. Can see here more clearly the floral detailing on the dress, as well as some of the wearing of the fabric at the edges. This dress is, after all, 200 years old.

Image 3.
Close up of the hem of the skirt from image 1. Very intricate floral detailing, and a sold band of metallic fabric at the hem.

British mantua with Flemish lace, late 1600s Been posting very modern stuff recently, so lets go way back. I don't know enough to comment, but this is certainly beautiful. Not what I'd expect from the period. The headpiece is wonderful. From the Met, NY. #dresshistory #fashionhistory #ootd

Two-piece wool dress, decorated with embroidery in silver-gilt thread. Lace sleeves extend from the elbows to the wrists, and there is an elaborate headpiece in lace and ribbon, with a lace trail to the shoulders.

Close up of the Flemish lace, showing a very intricate webbed pattern.

Top and skirt, Vivienne Westwood, 1986 This is just super - hoops aside, you could wear it anywhere right now and it would look amazing and not out of place. The slight texture clash of jersey and rayon skirt really works for me. From Kyoto Costume Institute #fashionhistory #ootd #dresshistory

Pink cotton jersey top with white dot print. Sleeves are two third length, and it has a scoop neckline.
Paired with a gray rayon satin skirt with three hoops inside; frilled hem; and black draw strings.

Evening dress, Lanvin, 1938 I actually don't know how to do this dress justice. I LOVE it, like all her designs. Interesting detail: the fabric isn't woven in horizontal bands. Its actually black velvet and white silk satin ribbon sewn onto the dress body! #dresshistory #fashionhistory #ootd

An off-shoulder evening dress. Made in horizontal bands of pleated ribbon of black velvet and white silk satin on black silk tulle. Cut as a bustier top and full length skirt.

Evening dress, Vionnet, 1929 Wouldn't this have looked beautiful in motion? There's so much to love - the 7-layered, zig-zag skirt, the circular appliqué on the top, the overall lightness of the look. Such a beautiful thing. From Kyoto Costume Institute. #dresshistory #fashionhistory #ootd

Sleeveless dress in ivory silk chiffon; with appliqué of circle motif; and a bias-cut skirt with seven layers of the same fabric.

Continuing transcribing the parts containing women's clothing in probate inventories from rural Skaraborg (a region in SW Sweden) in the 18th and early 19th century. It is both tiresome AND fun.
