Shoes for Tuesday. Brocaded silk wedding shoes, England, 1740s. The buckles are conch shell. Via LACMA here collections.lacma.org/node/228174 #shoes #1740s #dresshistory #fashionhistory

I have been reading about how the buckle industry was supplanted by button manufacturing once shoes were no longer fastened in this way. These #1740s damask shoes have the customary crossover latchet secured with paste gem buckle. Change would follow in the early c19th V&A

Biographies of objects can be truly remarkable. The silk designer Anna Maria Garthwaite created this design in the #1740s in London. It was woven by Peter Lekeux & sold on Oct 23 1747. The finished waistcoat, is now The Metropolitan Museum of Art whilst Garthwaite’s design is V&A. What tales!

Tie on #pockets are ordinarily displayed flat, out of their worn context which would have been suspended from the waist beneath the skirt. In their recent exhibition on bags, the V&A found an innovative way to show a bright yellow #1740s pocket to best effect V&A

The textured blue piqué of this #1740s jacket was already beautifully textured before adding the herbaceous border of hand #embroidery. It is worked in glossy silk floss and glistening metallic threads Museo del Traje, Madrid #madebyhand
