seen a hobble coat before, and the contrasting wide sleeves and unstructured draped silhouette make the narrow skirt particularly noticeable...in fact, it looks like a giant, beaded cocoon. #fashionhistory #ootd #PalaisGalliera

It is a jewel in dress form, an emerald seemingly engraved with architectural geometric motifs but in fact embroidered in sinuous swirls. A dress in which to shimmy as the band plays faster, #1920s #PalaisGalliera #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

#PalaisGalliera highlighted this 1910 dinner dress when referencing the House of Worth's prominence on the Rue de la Paix (number 7). The house itself exhibited an elegant facade with electric lighting and displayed various countries' flags when heads of state, like Russian Tsars

garments, like the kimono. These two 1910-1912 coats were from Worth and closely followed Pioret's original designs a decade earlier, showing both Poiret's foresight and the lack thereof at Worth at the time. Look at the trimmings though! #fashionhistory #ootd #PalaisGalliera

Another Rue de la Paix couturier, two doors down from Worth in the opposite direction, was Jacques Doucet. The #PalaisGalliera had this 1905 summer dress on show. It's a linen dress with embroidery, Valencienne lace, and a black velvet belt. #fashionhistory #ootd

#PalaisGalliera used this 1880 Worth wedding bodice as an example of the importance of marketing. Labels were still new in the 1860s, before which local dressmakers usually made a person's clothes. However, with increasingly larger Parisian couture houses, clothes started

for Countess Greffulhe. She was a French socialite and muse of Proust. Her daughter's half-brother-in-law wrote of her, "not only is she beautiful, but she is a lady." I think that is evident in this dress. Gorgeous but elegant and classy. #fashionhistory #ootd #PalaisGalliera

It is a cloud of an ensemble, an embellished tulle sculpted into a form fitting cocktail dress on the one hand & an all enveloping coat on the other. The flowers bloom in a burst of trimmings & embroideries like floral fireworks. Pierre Balmain, 1959 #PalaisGalliera #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Here we have a 1898-1900 Worth evening cape made of red velvet and chiffon with black lace, organza ribbon appliques, and a salmon silk ribbed lining. The front is a little reminiscent of Seinfeld's puffy shirt, but the back is divine. #fashionhistory #ootd #PalaisGalliera

the dress appears blue as the dress is now green. This was most likely caused by the dress's dye instability. It was also lovely to see the painting in person. #ootd #Fashionhistory #palaisgalliera
