Wedding dress, American, silk, c. 1851.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This wedding dress presents a conundrum in that some stylistic aspects of the dress appear to be later than the marriage date of 1851 provided in the original accession records. While the bodice has very fashionable full size pagoda sleeves, which were a new shape in 1851, the skirt with bustle, train and ruffles at bottom is more consistent with the 1870s rather than the dome shape of the 1850s. While it is possible that the skirt was re-made for a later bride, there is no obvious indication of that being the case. Wedding clothes have traditionally been vehicles for fantasy and historicism, however, which may be the case in the styling of this one. It nevertheless is a grand dress made for a wedding in Grace Church, a high society Brooklyn house of worship.

When I look around me and find myself alone, I sigh for you again; little sigh, and vain sigh, which will not bring you home.

A photo from Spelman College. This keeps coming up on my FB on the anniversary of Spelman's founding (April 11 1881) on my vintage Atlanta pages, and I LOVE this photo SO MUCH...but with what I know about 1880s fashion, tbh it looks more like the end of the 1880s. Also, I keep seeing this photo with no information on who these women are, and that's what really saddens me. If anyone has any ideas as to how I can find out more about who these women were or anything, I'd really love it. If not, well, it is still a beautiful photo to enjoy

Seeing tumblr users talk about how small Ratigan is compared to the other disney villains and just imagining an obsessive victorian lady keeping him as her pet.

Went to the Sargent and Fashion exhibition last week and wasn’t prepared for this. Excuse the shoddy quality, I was too excited

My favorite inadvertently creepy photography convention from Victorian times actually is the "hidden mother" photograph. As we know, taking pictures of wiggly babies is hard, especially if their mothers aren't holding them. But for some reason people keep insisting on having baby photos taken with only the babies.
The Victorian solution to this...was to just throw a blanket over the mother and pretend she wasn't there.
