Viewing objects in isolation allows a deeper understanding of its structure. This mid 18th century bodice would have had an equally sumptuous skirt but without it we can appreciate its shape, construction and even its lining #MuseodelTraje #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

It is National Game and Puzzle Week! ‘Floral Loto: A New Round Game’ was produced in London by Jaques & Son, [ca. 1872].
I saw this at University of Wisconsin-Madison Special Collections.

Happy #MosaicMonday! Either a mosaic or mosaic-adjacent, depending on whom you ask.
This parure (jewelry set) was probably made for Caroline Bonaparte Murat, #Napoleon's sister. These stunning pieces were made via pietra dura (the V&A calls it a "hardstone mosaic technique").

Much to my delight, Butterfly Season 2025 is still going, even at a trickle…
I don’t recall butterflies this late, especially after a hard freeze. They are so resilient.

This #1890s tea gown comes with options. Worn loose it has the relaxed fit often a part of the ‘at home’ gown it was designed to be but there is also a more fitted choice, fastening the open robe at the waist. I’ll go for the looser version thanks @jbrightcollection.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Starting my Butterfly Season 2025 thread. It will be a gradual thread this weekend and maybe into next week.
I must begin with my favorite butterfly photo this year. A difficult choice.
