A lovely vintage knotted cream glass pearl necklace that is 29 inches long with gold-plated rings OR a brass clasp. This necklace can be worn as one strand or doubled to create multiple effects - or buy two and have a four-strand look! Perfect for your everyday or historical/costuming needs. Portraits of Marie Antoinette, among others, was my inspiration for these. First photo is of Robin Marie at the Paca House and Gardens, Historic Annapolis, Maryland, and last photo is of me wearing it a different way. Last photo is of Alexandra and Elena Pavlovna, by Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun, ca. 1795-1797 If more photos are needed, just convo me.

It’s the most fashionable of fairytales- the poor Lincolnshire lad who went out to work at 11, arrived in Paris with £5 in his pocket and eventually designed the first bespoke frocks for the newly re-established Parisian court within years of arriving in the city.
In the last part of my Orlando (1992) review, I’m showcasing some of the fabulous costumes and looks from the film by designers Sandy Powell and Dien van Straalen. As mentioned in my last pos…

In the Spring of 1908, three women walked onto the Longchamp racecourse in Paris and jaws dropped. The elite society event was known for debuting the latest couture creations to the public, but no one had seen fashion quite like this before.

This is not pyschedelic performance art from the 1960s, this is ballet. Throughout history there are works of art that stand out as somehow atemporal and this choreography created in 1922 for the Theatre of Bauhaus, is one such artwork… Featuring astonishing brightly coloured, asymmetrical and cumbersome costumes, this ballet broke so far with convention of that…
Henrietta of England was an English princess who lived during the 17th century. She belonged to the House of Stuart and after her marriage to Philippe I, Duke of Orléans, became the Duchess of Orléans. Despite being an English princess, Henrietta spent the majority of her life in France and was a prominent figure in the court of her brother-in-law, the French king, Louis XIV.
The impression that the everyday people (anyone outside of fashion historians) have about Victorian garb is that everyone dressed alike, in multiple layers of drab clothing that covered their whole bodies.

Once again, I have absolutely no motivation to make a single stitch of anything lately. I've learned that this is quite normal, and that if I force the issue I'll regret it. I do have inspirations, though, so here are some things I would *like*
The Egtved girl’s remains were found in an oak coffin in a peat bog at a Bronze Age archaeological site near Egtved, Denmark in 1921.
Berlin is a city of ghosts and one of the most alluring phantoms is Anita Berber, the high priestess of debauchery; she of the kohl black eyes and flaming red hair and vermillion lips. Immortalised by Otto Dix’s paintbrush, this Weimar cabaret goddess challenged all the taboos with her performances and broke boundaries that would…
