Hot Take

museums should label 19th-century women’s clothing primarily by formality (except in the case of garments with specific purposes, eg. “cycling costume” or “nightgown”), not by the 10,000 different terms they might be called at the time

my reasoning is that the current hodgepodge of terms, while technically accurate to the period:

1. reinforces the myth that middle- or upper-class women used to always change their dresses many times a day No Matter What, rather than what seems to me the primary-source-supported reality- that they changed situationally, as necessary

2. promotes unnecessary disconnect between the past and the present. we have varying degrees of clothing formality today, just without specific terms for each one. they had garments that could serve for multiple purposes and be dressed up or down with accessories back then. but because we don’t talk about an “afternoon dress” vs. a “ball gown” and they didn’t talk about the dress code for a party being “nice casual” vs. “dressy.” there’s this false idea that our systems of clothing changes/formality are Totally Different. which is really not the case, I think

3. even they couldn’t agree on what to call each individual outfit! I’ve seen fashion plates in magazines where the textual description and the label on the image give the same dress different names

this post brought to you by: Marzi Has Seen Too Many Gowns Labeled “Evening Gown” On Museum Websites Apparently For Their Formality When In Truth They Do Not Have The Single Factor That Usually Made A Dress Strictly For Evening At The Time (namely, revealing more skin about the chest and arms) And Therefore Would Have Stood Just As Well For Formal Daytime Events

#dress history #museums #fashion history #19th century #like no you would not necessarily change from Nightgown to Morning Dress to Afternoon Dress to Dinner Dress to Evening Dress every day #'morning dress' is usually basically what we'd call a fancy bathrobe anyway #'afternoon dress' seems to basically be another term for 'cocktail dress' or semi-formal #if you're not going to a fancy event at any time during the day then a 'day dress' would have served until bedtime #or a 'walking dress' although sometimes there's a difference in skirt length there #MAYBE you might have had to change for dinner with your family if they were very formal but #yeah no they would have found changing a zillion times EVERY DAY as tiresome and pointless as we do #(generally. I'm sure some particularly fashion-obsessed socialites were Down but they were the exception even in their own class) #'promenade gown' literally just means 'fancy day dress' #'opera gown' 'ball gown' and 'evening gown' all seem to be basically interchangeable #in interpreting for the public we should not fall into their trap of making this more complex than it needs to be

going on what will probably be an extended adventure tomorrow to try to find a dress to wear to a friend's wedding, pray for me 🫠

#personal #i'm too tired for this lol #her wedding is black tie preferred??? #i don't have anything fancy enough for black tie preferred!!!! #but i don't want to spend a fortune on something i'll wear like once!!! #bc when else am i gonna wear a fancy gown or whatever!!! #gonna hope i can find something in a consignment shop for cheap-ish 🫠 #and also gonna hope i can go the fancy-cocktail-dress route instead of a floor-length gown thing #anyway i repeat i am too tired for this #but i am also already running low on times i can go look for something #and looking online is Not Going Well #so 🫠 here we go

omg iskra going back in time auau- but like- garak seeing two random cardassians on the station with no explanation why they r there, and they seem to know him like- what. Would they try to avoid him so he dont sus them out? what about names? They obviously cant say their surnames. And Ziyal 🥺 (sorry this is just such a edible idea anyway)

AWOOOOGH GARAK WOULD BE SO INTRIGUED! you KNOW he'd be hiding behind promenade pylons trying to get a drop on any information about the two cardassians that the captain has let stay on the station during the war against cardassia! You KNOWWW he'd be desperately trying to make eye contact with them at quark's! AND YOU KNOW ISKRA WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RESIST THE TEMPTATION!

Unfortunately Idan is a first year starfleet student and like any student is deeply passionate about the letter and not the spirit of the law, and thinks that they should barricade themselves in their quarters so as to prevent temporal contradiction (as recommended in the textbook). Iskra, who graduated a cardassian jurisprudence apprenticeship and has a degree in comparative galactic law, recognizes that every set of regulations has loopholes just waiting to be tugged open and wiggled through. And that involves meeting all her aunts and uncles in their glory days, causing trouble, making cryptic remarks and flirting up a storm.

They probably do ask sisko to get bashir and garak off the station to minimize interference (Iskra also requests several other random crewmembers be kicked out. Just so that there's no implication about future events.) But not before she gets to meet her yadek! (and maybe get hit on by s3 era julian, eugh)

Iskra goes by her birth family name when she's not on Cardassia to minimize assassination attempts, so they're both Ghilanas (until SOMEONE hacks into the computer on their rented shuttle and finds their ID info...)

And also Ziyal... wary of two shiny young cardassians but still trying to put on a brave face...swept up by their openness and enthusiasm but deeply wary of the secret they seem to be hiding...

#dee s 9 #garashir adoption au #AUUGUHGHGHGH IVE BEEN TURNING THIS AUAU OVER IN MY HEAD LIKE A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE PEBBLE AND NOW ITS ALL SMOOTH! #i know jumja sticks arent cold but in my heart theyre popsicles. cause a big lukewarm chunk of sugar aint it #not pictured: iskra dressing in her two (2) Nice Outfits #she was picking Idan up from his first year internship in the gamma quadrant to take him home for garak and bashirs 25 year anniversary #and they ran into.......time.... issues..... in the wormhole #idan keeps Snapping To Attention around senior officers #and humming vintage earth tunes #so sisko clocks something going on immediately. if the tail wasnt a giveaway. #like I am not sure that the beastie boys are a cardassian cultural import. this boy is not from Our Cardassia. And he keeps saluting me. #idan is just sooo so so so. so happy to meet Captain Sisko. but he also so so so wants to not fuck up spacetime #while his sister is lying on captain kiras desk in a cocktail gown with a rose betwixt her teeth #garak: *says something cryptic and suggestive* iskra: *says something cryptic and suggestive back* idan: *sips rootbeer loudly* #anyways thank u as always for the oc asks i cannot get over them #i LOVEEEE the excuse to do more... #nog jake alexander idan crew. just boys being boys. just guys causing mischief

New pieces I would like The Princess of Wales to add to her wardrobe (1,216/?)

Dress by Elie Saab

Remembrance weekend is coming up, and I think a shorter midi version of this gown would be great for the Festival of Remembrance. Kate tends to go simple for that event every year. I think this dress is simple enough, but the lace, collar and bow on this dress give it just a bit more interest than most of the ones she’s chosen in the past. 

Currently sold out.
