One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Oscar Winners

A Room with a View / Helena Bonham-Carter as Lucy Honeychurch

Year: 1986

Designer: Jenny Beavan and John Bright

Lucy wears this outfit for a brief scene of tea in the garden. Some of the costumes for this film were vintage pieces, and I wonder if this might be one of them, with the intricate embroidery on the top (does it qualify as a shirtwaist?). I also wonder if it might have been chosen as a nod to the original novel, where the famous kiss in the flower field happens in spring rather than summer, and the flowers are violets rather than poppies.

There's a very good writeup of the costumes in this film here.

Okay so I left this a bit late but because I'm in NZ i didn't want to be wildly early and then procrastinated a bit, some of you who I know from TTrpg will have seen this image already but it is my favourite homecoming photo from the end of the war, a father and son celebrating as they ride together through their town, decorated for Christmas.

I imagine many other blogs similar to mine will have made posts lamenting the dead today, and while I share their respect for those who passed, I will be doing something slightly different.

I think that it is just as important to remember those that lived, those who returned to shattered countries, to families ruined by famine and disease, those who left a piece of themselves at the front, figuratively and literally.

Heres to honouring those that came home changed forever, those that never had a good night's sleep again, those that buried their friends at Verdun, the Somme, Passchendaele, Gallipoli, Caporetto, Galicia and Tannenburg.

Those who returned to countries that treated them as second class citizens, those who returned home to find the war still going in their little slice of the world, the ones who were lied to, the last ones left and the ones who wished they'd never come home at all.

We need not forget the ones who survived hell and were left to endure its memory to the end of their days.

I love you all, and though we'll never meet, you have my heart forever and always.

Just thinking about how em forster had no way of knowing in 1917 if there would ever come a time where people like him could be free to love whoever they wanted but he still made a point of creating a story where the canonically gay protagonist found himself with a happy ending despite not ending up with his initial lover because he still learned how to accept and love himself as he is and found a man who felt the same and not two decades after the book was published an openly gay director decided to make a movie that kept it lovingly close to the source material with actors incredibly dedicated to their roles so now to this day people can read the book or watch the film and understand what forster wanted to say , which just goes to show how far this story has come to finally reach an audience to appreciate it in all its glory and connect people to a time that seems so far off to them now, simply because forster believed that no one deserves to have a happy ending taken from them and even though he never got to live to see the day where two members of the same sex could love each other without fear of persecution he knew that it wasn’t him or who he was that was wrong, it was the world’s way of thinking at the time that was wrong, and because he never once doubted that he’s managed to create a legacy that has managed to surpass the test of time. In a way this story is a message to the future lgbt community to remind us that we’ve never been alone. We’ve been around for ages and prevailed. And not only we deserve to be loved, we deserve to be able to love, because neither sex or social class should be allowed to divide us because those aspects don’t define our entire identity.

#em forster #maurice 1917 #maurice 1987 #james ivory #i went on a small rant about this movie during an interview the other day and I managed to make the interviewer tear up #lgbtqia #dark academia #we’ve come so far #may this story never die #on the surface it’s just a gay love story setbin the edwardian era but it’s so much more than that #rip

One Dress a Day Challenge

October: White Redux

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang / Sally Ann Howes as Truly Scrumptious

What's that, you say? A touch of black has crept into our white costumes? Oh, just ignore it. I'm sure it means nothing.

This movie is set somewhere between 1900 and 1910, but this costume really just suggests it without going for strict historical accuracy. I'm pretty sure boas like that were not for day wear, and just what is that thing on her head? Nevertheless, it's cute, and good for dancing in. Looking at this in comparison with a couple other costumes from around the same time, I'm getting the feeling that piping was a popular thing around the end of the 1960s.

Notice the faint polka dots on the bow on the bodice front!

Elegant ladies in lace dresses in Paris, Photo by the Seeberger brothers, 1900s

The Seeberger brothers have earned their places in history not just for their considerable photographic talents but for their roles in chronicling the evolution of styles, attitudes and cultural influences throughout their time. Their impact on fashion was considerable and the archives of their work continue to influence fashion today. (x)
