This #ootd is a little unusual, but for me is very spring-like. It's an 1836 dress from England. It is made of cotton with alternating blue and a geometrical floral strips. The flowers however are highly abstract and look to be influenced by folkart. #Fashionhistory

By contrast, the July 1830 issue shows some black clothing, but ... also shades of grey and lavender, which are half-mourning. And the general text on current fashions is anything but effusively sad.

Crisp white piqué with contrasting soutache work- how could this not be a 1860s favourite for summer outdoor wear, particularly by the sea?
