Dress Journal, Volume 48, 2022

This issue of the journal, which is a publication of the Costume Society of America, has many interesting articles, but I was most excited about the One-Hour Dress. It was invented by Mary Brooks Picken to encourage the sale of fabric and sewing lessons in the 1920s. The idea was that any one could make this simple dress in an hour and demonstrations took place under a big clocek at departments stores across the country This article by Sarah Hegge, Shirley Wajda and Mary Worrall which looks at the predecessors to the dress, its origins, marketing, instruction booklets, and even offers a remarkable surviving example. Although you can make the dress in an hour if you are a good dressmaker, the blue one you see here took a remarkable amount of hand embroidery to complete.

Then, there is yet another feature on sewing: the research report by Sarah Sheehan on Pucci sewing patterns from the 1950s through 1970s. I offer you an image of a dress and coat pattern from 1965 with the kind of hat and gloves then still required for formal public clothing.

The cover has an image of Firefighter Mose from an article on the 19th Century American clothing of white nationalism or white folkwear by Sandra Tome. Then, there are articles on Masonic apron, on visibly queer-fashion and trans-fashion brands, on pointe shoes for ballet, as well as reviews of costume books and exhibitions.

YELLOWJACKETS + shauna being sentimental

#no she's not sentimental she just has bunnies on her pajama bottoms and butterflies on her tops #no she's not sentimental she just can't get rid of her journals and buys magazines about the crash and displays the rabbit knick-knacks #no she's not sentimental she just wears jackie's shirt and tucks jackie's ear into her pocket and saves jackie's dress in the fire #no she's not sentimental there's just this ghost she can't let go of #yellowjacketsedit #yellowjackets #shauna shipman #jackie taylor #callie sadecki #natalie scatorccio

The early 19th century sure was something for our boys (gn). They were taking things at a FAST pace. (If, of course, you’re immortal and need to layer everything under 6 layers of deniability).

Whatever you do, don’t think about how in 1793 Crowley rescued Aziraphale and then they got lunch, in 1800 he brought chocolates to the bookshop then saved Aziraphale from a heavenly promotion, then in 1827 they went on a date to a cemetery in Edinburgh(prime date spot at the time esp for non-trad couples) and Crowley seemed to be having the time of his life.

Then especially don’t think about Crowley getting lightning-sanded down to Hell and showing up 35 years later in a much grumpier mood and with a request for Holy Water as “insurance”.

And don’t think about the context of their last interaction being attempted suicide by poison drink after a partner was lost… no wonder Aziraphale didn’t take the request well and they fought. No wonder Crowley was offended by fraternizing - they’d been way beyond that. Nope, don’t think about any of that.

#I know you can take A’s journal entry in a way that means they met up sooner #but I like this interpretation #lol the whole thing is such a departure from book omens #when Crowley slept thru the 19th century #from a doylist perspective it’s almost certainly to be able to dress the lads in amazing costumes #I approve #the 19th century #good omens #good omens headcanons #good omens s2 #ineffable husbands #crowley #aziraphale #good omens 2 #good omens meta #aziracrow #a duck talks

portrait of a law student in her last semester (2024). sorry for the radio silence! i'm around but tbh i don't have any pictures of me studying because i haven't been studying. i just got back from spring break so expect pics from london soon !! :~)

also pictured: my new journal from london! i finished my cat one (featured here) in three months - a record time! (it's probably because i've been losing my mind for the past three months and have been furiously journaling my feelings every single day.....)

#peep my sparkly hot pink nails #i got them done for barrister's ball #which is basically law school prom #i normally don't get my nails done but i wore a black dress so i wanted some ~contrast~#tea-tuesday #mine #studyblr #studyspo #study inspiration #study #studying #study motivation #journal

A typical 1832 throuple from Journal des Dames et des Modes, showing the sexual dimorphism of the species.

Although the male is much smaller and relatively drab (despite his yellow gloves and patterned waistcoat); he will demonstrate his fitness as a mate with numerous dances.

Spontaneously drew a Queen Serenity to glue into my junk journal, colored with gel pens. Very must based on a drawing by Takeuchi.

The holographic gem stickers are from an Etsy shop called Oddity Abyss.

#Sailor Moon #Queen serenity #junk journal #when I was 11 I wanted to be her #maybe because I wanted to wear that dress #and have amazing white hair #my art

To the people that go, "HSR Argenti should be a woman, as he looks like a girl and acts like one, too!",...

I wish you a merry "please don't be so progressive to the point you end up going backwards and labelling gender back onto traits, appearances and personalities." day.

If a man is graceful and gentle as well as beautiful or elegant-- those are traits not just belonging to a woman-- but to all individuals.

Anyway, I shall draw Argenti with all the dresses and suits I have designed in my life.

#argenti #hsr #honkai star rail #as someone that grew up with like.... “you should be this and JUST THIS”-- it so ills me #anyway all the dresses i gave to chamber shall be shared with argenti hehe!#journal

SYDNEY SWEENEY at the premiere of “Anyone But You” on December 18th 2023 in Sydney wearing GIVENCHY

Sydney went sheer for the premiere of her new movie in Australia, and she looked absolutely gorgeous. I just love how laid back and fresh this look is. The off white color really looks amazing on Sydney, and she just looks so vibrant. I thought it was a really great look, and I don’t think this picture even does it justice.
