Hazy summer days captured in gathered white muslin that has been printed with a pattern of swaying blue and green leaves. Not our idea of a July wardrobe but I appreciate the #1860s aesthetic all the same #FashionMuseumBath #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

For Blue Monday, a summer sky of a gown in rippling moiré silk, so effective deployed as fabric of choice in the #1860s when the dimensions of a skirt celebrated the scale of a textile. The jagged toothed trim is a catchy contrast. Sold via #1stDibs #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The #1930s was the decade that lost interest in the front of a gown and decided that all of the drama would happen elsewhere. Here the backless midnight blue velvet scoots down in the deepest V with a little line of glass buttons….. #AugustaAuction #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
