High res photo alert! I just want to hug whoever takes these photos at the Museum of New Zealand, because OMG. The detail!

I think I'm in my red/pink/blush gown era, because this is another one that I just had to share.

This robe à l'anglaise retroussée dates from the 1770s-1780s, and is English. It's made of silk damask, one of my favorites, in this gorgeous burgundy and cream silk floral pattern. Unlike the French sack back gowns of this time, this one laces up tight on the other side, hence it's à l'anglaise.

Retroussée refers to the skirt length, which would have been pulled up.

This silhouette made a big comeback in the 1840s and the 1880s. And you can see why! It's pretty classic.

Okay, so this is interesting. I’ve found a court suit dated to 1770 at the Mint Museum that looks a lot like the outfit worn by Carlo Buonaparte, Napoleon’s father, in this painting.

I don’t think it’s the same, though. But it is fascinating to see the similarities. The painting of Carlo Buonaparte is dated sometime between 1766-1779.

Outfit planning while at work during the 15 minutes per tour where the guests watch something and I lurk in a dark corner.

#my art #sketchbook #sadies day job #one of my friends is throwing a hobbit themed party soon w a Dress Code and everything #and then im not even close to done w my macaroni suit and yet my brain yearns to focus on an accurate puf outfit #the only person in the 1770s whose gender is close enough to mine! id love to show up to historical costuming meetups as them. #my dear coworker mary apparently pre-covid used to go to those kind of things where the instagram girls are in their robe a la francais #but just as a fishmonger. w a real dead fish from costco and everything. she'd try to sell the fancy ladies the fish. #i love her so much.

Found an old American Girl catalogue earlier & the clothes & accessories & furniture all make me yearn something fierce

It all used to be so much better.

I feel bad for kids today, because AG used to actually be worth their price points- the historical dolls' furniture was once INSANELY nice, okay? -and not have Disney-faced dolls who seem to wear obvious makeup despite the characters being 9 years old, and not be hyperfocused on their modern line to the exclusion of their original mission (namely, teaching girls about history and thus making them feel empowered in the present).

Also, are they allergic to historical characters from before 1920 now or something? They don't even have a Revolutionary War doll anymore. That whole line is about American history, and yet one of the most seminal moments in said history is completely glossed over. It doesn't have to be Felicity, but...they should at least have SOMETHING for that era, right?

There are so many characters now that I feel deserved to be released during a better period of the company's production- Rebecca, Melody, Claudie, and Nanea come to mind. But no, they came about in the pinkified, plastic-everything, shoddily-researched nightmare that is AG nowadays.

1904? 1904?! IN WHAT FREAKING WORLD DOES ANY OF THIS LOOK "1904?"

HER ORIGINAL "MEET" DRESS HAD THE FASHIONABLE DROPPED WAIST OF CHILDREN'S CLOTHING IN THE EDWARDIAN ERA, AND A DARK, SMALL PRINT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THOUGHT CONVENIENT FOR A CHILD'S DAYWEAR IN CASE THEY SPILLED SOMETHING ON IT OR OTHERWISE GOT IT STAINED. BUT WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THAT? GIRL IN OLDE TIMEY SKIRT ERA = PINK!!!

HEY KIDS HERE'S YOUR HISTORY EDUCATION! WE MODERNIZED ITS VISUALS FOR YOUR COMFORT, BECAUSE WHO CARES UNLESS IT FITS INTO OUR CURRENT NOTIONS OF AESTHETIC APPEAL, RIGHT? HAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

...anyway, congrats on finding those old catalogues

#ask #anon #mini-rant #dolls #I used to yearn for Felicity's blue Christmas dress and I still do #maybe someday. although 1770s isn't my favorite
