A few weekends ago, I went to Les Seigneuriales de Vaudreuil-Dorion with a friend. Since it's an annual historical Nouvelle-France fair, I wanted to create an outfit inspired by that time period (anything between the 16th and the 18th century). I sadly do not own any real historical recreation costume, so I did what I could with my own modern wardrobe.

Outfit rundown Bonnet: Moi-même-Moitié (gift) Overskirt: The Floral Notebook Underskirt: second-hand Black Peace Now Panniers: a gift from the designer of @british_wardrobe Shirt: old gift from Boutique 1861 Belt, scarf and brooch: vintage Boots: old Cobb Hill

17th century dress inspired by my beloved Versailles royal court fashion. It's mostly handsewn, made out of satin and trimmed with lace. It was the first serious historical costume i have ever made. And to be honest, my favourite one <3

There are so few extant gowns from the 17th century--even Queen Elizabeth I's wardrobe is almost entirely lost (save for some fabric that was found in a church).

This stunning saffron satin gown dates from between 1610-1620--the fabric is Italian but the embroidery and lace are local to Saxony. It is an absolute delight of a gown, too, with all that metallic thread, lace, and texture going on. There are even sequins on this gown, tear-drop shaped (sequins have been around a lot longer than you might think) and miles of gold and silver details.

The shoulders are reminiscent of Venetian wedding styles of the time, and the whole gown is just covered in embroidered stars and scales. Truly a spectacular piece of history and a timeless treasure.

We also know who wore this: Electress Magdalena Sibylla of Saxony, the 7th great-grandmother of Queen Victoria of England.

October: White Redux

The Four Musketeers: Milady's Revenge / Faye Dunaway as Milady de Winter

Rewatching this movie to make screencaps reminded me that it and its predecessor, the 1973 Three Musketeers, are just about perfect examples of their genre. The cast, cinematography, score, and yes, costumes are just top-notch. Yvonne Blake was responsible for the costumes for both films.

Milady wears this extravagant white gown while on a diplomatic-slash-assassination mission to England and then later, after being captured, manages to seduce her Puritan jailer into helping her escape. And she even climbs ladders in it! Now, that's what I call a versatile wardrobe.

Note the monogram "W" (for de Winter) on the muff. Also, that hooded cloak is quite something.

‘ZOUNDS !

I call this look ‘fairy peasant goes to market’. I was inspired by several centuries’ worth of fashion- I just couldn’t choose! I made everything except the boots, fichu, and belt 🍃✨🥀
