#Ootd is this 1960 Balenciaga silk satin gown. The cut is dramatic as it wraps from the bodice's cups up the shoulders and down to the back, where it meets the lower bodice that also looks as though it was wrapped from the front and tied in back. Musée McCord Stewart Museum #Fashionhistory

Today's #ootd is this 1924-5 evening dress. It is quite minimalistic for a 20s outfit, but the lack of color is made up for in the complex geometric pattern worked in beadery and sequins. It almost looks like computer circuitry. #Fashionhistory The Metropolitan Museum of Art

#FridayFrills is this 1770s robe a la francaise made from a 1750s ivory silk brocaded with silver gilt and silk in a pattern of foliage and flowers, such as the naturalistic rose buds. The gold stomacher is trimmed with silver-gilt lace & flowers ColonialWilliamsburg #Fashionhistory

This week's #WeddingWednesday is the dress Fredrika Dorotea Vilhelmina wore when she married King Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden in 1797. It's made of a 'speckled silver' brocade lined with silk taffeta. The highlight is the sleeves lined in sequins 🤌 Livrustkammaren #Fashionhistory

Another Lanvin robe de style

#Ootd is this 1950s Jean Desses evening dress. He was known for dresses like this, which were made of chiffon and mousseline (a silk muslin similar to chiffon) that had intricate drapery influenced by ancient Greek and Roman wear. #Fashionhistory Musée McCord Stewart Museum

Today's #ootd is this 1985-6 Anne Marie Beretta dress. It has a distinct 1920s feel but is modern with its leather belt and loop to hold up the long train of velvet. Beretta was most well known for her 101801 coats for Max Mara, which is still in production today. #Fashionhistory

This week's #FridayFrills is this 1926 completely embroidered gown by Jenny Jeanne-Adèle Bernard, also known as Jenny Sacerdote or Madame Jenny. She worked from 1909-40. Love the asymmetrical wrap with a tulle train from the hip. #Peabodyessexmuseum #Fashionhistory

Today's #ootd is this 1934 Lanvin dress. It has the typical elegant, slender silhouette of the 1930s, created with the bias cut. The highlight though is the mini caplet with sequins for an ultra diva look. Musée McCord Stewart Museum #Fashionhistory
