Enjoyed this month's 'At Home' with @19cdandtreframed.bsky.social on the theme of cross-dressing. Particularly intrigued by professional male impersonator Annie Hindle and her string of bigamous, same sex marriages across the States, carried out under a male pseudonym - her husband's name.

And best of all it has a maker’s label - J MacNeille of Ayr. Founded by John MacNeille at 4 High Street, Ayr, Ayrshire, by 1830. By 1845 the business also has leather warehouse on Old Bridge Street, which by 1849 had became main business. MacNeille was later elected Provost of Ayr in 1864.

Oval paper label adhered to the cream insole of a black shoe, printed in black ink 'J Macneille Boot and Shoemaker Ayr'

Look at the bright pink color! Women’s bodice and skirt Circa 1860s Source: Augusta auctions, www.augusta-auction.... #victorian #victorianfashion #fashionhistory

Description for all views, which is 4 different angles. A bubblegum pink silk taffeta dress on a mannequin, long sleeves, square neckline, pleated trim on sleeve hems. Bodice ends in point in front and has laced closure in back. The skirt front seems to be pleated. The back half of skirt has scalloped edge at hem.

Sheer cream (I suspect it is patina and was white) over skirt forming in an apron-like manner in front, and also long in back, but with lifted sides with black velvet ribbons at sides. This piece is trimmed with black velvet ribbon.

Material Engagement Sunday: currently working on the yoke for the c.1200 bliault. Silk and gold embroidery. It's finished, I'm sewing it onto the red now. Let's see, what about hashtags like #AcademicDressRecreation and of course #DressHistory #MedievalSky

An example of how (a part of) the underpinnings would look like from ca 1885. What’s missing is corset cover and pettticoat(s) (and stockings) The structure in back is called bustle or tornure. Source: LACMA, collections.lacma.or... #victorian #victorianfashion #fashionhistory

Being at work on a Saturday is always confusing for my body and brain but it’s worth it when I get to hang out with treats like this, a circa 1745 men’s waistcoat. collections.royal-needlework.org.uk/object-col-2...

There is a hint of the reptilian to this mid #1870s dress. The angled pleating and position of the decorative buttons lends it an air of a watchful crocodile in shaded greens, the tongue of pale train skirting its hem, Mme Depret Paris @metcostume.bsky.social
