I wish @hottycouture.bsky.social would unblock me.
Disliking modern architecture isn't a crime, & doesn't affect shared interest in 18C costume.

Museum Display case, from August 2025
The Waistcoats of Sir John Fleming Leicester (1762-1827) are beautiful examples of silk and embroidery with silk buttons. Sir John liked a beautiful waistcoat!

A colour photograph in landscape format. It shows an illuminated display case at a country house in Cheshire. There are five incredible pale silk men's waistcoats with embroidery and silk buttons. They are very small, the owner must have been a slight build.

Why dress up on Halloween? It began with Celtic Samhain, wearing costumes to repel ghosts. Medieval guising traded prayers for food. Irish & Scottish immigrants brought it to America, evolving into today’s creative costume tradition. #Halloween #CostumeHistory

#costume #costumehistory did all these haymakers use hat pins?
peterpaulrubens.bsky.social Dr. Peter Paul Rubens @peterpaulrubens.bsky.social · Aug 25
How do they keep their hats on? Inquiring minds want to know. Haymakers, painted in 1785 by George Stubbs, whose day is today.

The #Byzantine clothes are v interesting (we see a model wearing recreation at end), though I don't think the hoodie with padded edge is v attractive. I love the appliqués, though. #CostumeHistory

This fancy dress from our collection is presumably based on this ‚Pierrette‘ fashion plate from January 1884 ‚Der Bazar‘ that was also featured in ‚La Mode Illustrée‘ as ‚Folie‘ (Folly). #1880sfancydress #historyofdress #costumehistory #victorianfancydress #fancydressinspiration #cosprop

The silk facings for a red silk doublet. It was quite common for even the most expensive of clothes to be made in this way.
The lining was made of relatively cheap material -in this case red linen but often thin wool or canvas

A picture of a replica late 15th century doublet. This picture shows the red linen lining and gold silk facings at the edges of the doublet. This was a common technique since the silk lining could be glimpsed in these places.

Cheerful stripes swing gracefully as a lady turns towards her friend in a plate from 1831 'La Mode', illustrating how our bodice might have looked before its skirt was cut off. www.thejohnbrightcollection.co.uk/costume/bodice-and-inner-sleeve-supports-2/#1830sfashion #1830sdress #costumehistory
