I also have a ticket for the V&A's Marie Antoinette Style exhibition. Never not an über-planner.

Hi. Yes. A bit of a draught. But I still have cat photos. About 30 of Sofie trying to end us all with cuteness today.

Today's #ootd is this 1810 French ensemble of a cotton gown with embroidered metallic thread and a matching sequined, netted shawl with a band that fits across the high waist.

#Ootd is this 1926-8 evening dress by Eugenie et Juliette, a Parisian house known for its evening wear in the 1920s-30s. Their work was known for its elaborate embroidery, as evidenced here, where they used a simple running stitch to create an entire Chinese-inspired scene. In the late 20s, Chinese

For #WeddingWednesday, here is this 1907 wedding outfit made of silk and lace. It has some wonderful smocking, an embroidery technique that gathers the fabric to provide stretch before elastic. It was popular in the 1900s with the Aesthetic movement. #Fashionhistory #ootd

Blue Monday. Well, here's a blue gown for it. Dated ca. 1805, prior to the Regency proper, and a good example of the aesthetic of that time. emuseum.history.org/objects/413/... 🗃️🪡

We've crossed a very, very dangerous threshold. The combined forces of ignorance, disinformation, hate, and extreme wealth have seized power and are twisting the global agenda. Decent people need to step up and counter it all, or things are simply going to descend into the pit of hell.

Happy 249th Birthday to Jane Austen! Austen is mostly known for Regency dress, like this 1804-14 French dress, known for the high empire waist and using light, thin fabrics (this one is made of cotton instead of muslin). This dress also has a long train, gathered in the back to produce a little bump
