For your #MondayBlues, we have this lovely 1950s Balenciaga afternoon dress and jacket, owned by Elizabeth Parke Firestone. As with Dior, Firestone corresponded with Balenciaga for custom garments. Her favorite color was blue, hence this blue plaid. @thehenryford.bsky.social #Fashionhistory

Silk draped dress, Torimaru, England, 1976 A dress that flows like a river. The fabric seems to spill from the halter neck, sweeping down the body, then splitting in the skirt, before sweeping back up behind the figure to form the hood. Wonderful. #fashionsky #dresshistory #fashionhistory #fashion

Museum photo of a mannequin wearing a cream coloured halter neck drape dress. The fabric of the dress seems to flow from the halter neck, which crosses over at the throat, flowing down the body. As its silk it clings, while retaining a flow due to the volume of fabric. The dress splits in front, at the mid leg, which each side sweeping backwards to form what would be a train. However, the train is lifted up, forming a cape and hood.

The Shades of Light sampler, possibly my favourite design to date, was finished #OTD in 2023. #Blackwork #embroidery on 14-count Aida. Pattern here: bit.ly/3VeTYRu

A photo of a blackwork embroidery sampler on black cloth. It consists of 12 inner sections shaped like thin diamonds, and 12 outer sections in larger diamond shapes, arranged to form a circular starburst. Each section is filled with a repetitive geometric motif stitched in white and coloured thread. The threads in each section overlap to form a gradient between white at the inner point of the diamond and a colour at the outer point. The colours are arranged to form a colour wheel. Each section is outlined in white thread.

My cat The Bear (RIP) in 2014ish, in a box on which I have written HOTEL CATIFORNIA. The Bear, who liked boxes a lot, was one of the stars of my books The Good, The Bad & The Furry (2013) and Close Encounters Of The Furred Kind (2015) but I think the best thing I ever wrote about him -and his compatriots - was in the final section of my book, Ring The Hill (2019), which isn't a cat-themed book, though - like all my books - does have cats in it.
