Playing With Stripes: Shirtwaist at the Grand Rapids Public Museum

Stripes are one of the most common patterns in fabrics and also one that has much potential for playing around in garment design. We are most used to stripes running up and down, as on men’s and men’s dress shirts. Then in sportswear, you sometimes see a collar or cuffs, cut on the bias, or diagonal. And an entire blouse bodice can be cut on the bias, a technique used in the 1930s, that I have tried and been pleased with. More on that later.

The cotton shirtwaist, or blouse, was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States and in Europe. It was a break from the dress which was more expensive and harder to clean. A working-class woman could afford a set of cotton blouses to wear with a single skirt, and put some variety into her wardrobe. Yes, the first example of what some call a capsule wardrobe.

This shirtwaist uses bias on the bodice beneath a straight-grain yoke and with a straight-grain button placket . This is a smart idea because puts stability where you need it and allows for the drape of bias where it is flattering. You want stability at the button placket to hold the weight of the buttons and for the buttonholes which must bind the cut fabric. The yoke gives you a trim and relatively stable shoulder line (though it is necessarily on a slight bias to shape to the shoulder’s angle), and from the yoke drapes the bias portion which both creates a  soft mass over the bustline and appears to whittle the waistline. Both important to creating the then ideal silhouette of a full bust and a tiny waist. The soft, gathered sleevehead also emphasizes the wide to narrow drop from shoulder to waistline.

Working with stripes takes more effort than a plain weave. You must mirror the stripes from one side to the other or risk making the wearer look slightly drunk. And notice here the button placket is cut so that it does not disturb the stripes found in the yoke. But I always think the effort is worth it.

This is part of the Grand Rapids Public Museum’s exhibition on Fashion and Nature, which has a section on cottons. For more info, go here: https://www.grpm.org/fashion-and-nature/

i genuinely do love everyone’s commitment to ianthe’s high-waisted leather pants but i feel like the batshit outfits she was assembling out of valancy’s wardrobe in htn also deserve acknowledgement 

#my art #tlt #the locked tomb #ianthe tridentarius #rip me for actually drawing the details in the bedroom and then deciding it looked better darkened practically to the point you cant #see any of them. #but anyway. i am a supporter of ianthe's terrible ill-fitting skirt and shirtwaist looks. #also i think she wears thick socks because despite being a necromancer she doesn't get any circulation in her feet. those are just her vibes #the quote in the second one is from pg 209 of htn btw :) #she didn't have the bone arm yet

The Dramatic Shirtwaist at the Grand Rapids Public Museum

I usually think of shirtwaist as puffy, printed, light-colored cotton garment like the one worn by my great grandmother, but of course, a shirtwaist, or blouse could come in any color.This one is part of the Fashion and Nature exhibition at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, part of the section on cotton and shirtwaists.

As you can see, it is an over-the-top design of excessive details and embellishments. The sheer black fabric is pleated down the sleeves, and each pleat is marked by a red velvet ball. The blacks backed with white, and lace trims the cuffs. Then lace collar has a red band outlining it as well as a red ribbon at the top of its high neckline and red bows to shut its surplice front. Don’t forget the red balls and bands at the shoulders. You can see why It reminded me of Elizabeth Phelps, the dress reformer who complained in 1873 that women’s fashion had become “a meaningless dazzle of broken effects.”  This blouse dates to the early 20th Century, but the eye finds no rest as it travels up and down and across. No wonder the Dress Doctors kept harping on simplicity. Their eyes had been exhausted.

If We Commented On Modern Fashion Videos Like We Do Historical Fashion Videos

"I mean, it's pretty, but how did you even use the BATHROOM in that?! GROOOOOOSS!!!!"

"things to wear while coughing your lungs out from COVID and wildfire smoke and trying to avoid your fascist neighbor lol"

"yikes, think about how they all had to wear Spanx two sizes too small, though!"

[video shows reasonably nice everyday clothing] "but that's just what RICH PEOPLE wore! not REAL PEOPLE!!!"

[model is a woman of color] "um sweety only WHITE women wore that back then :/"

"did you know that [confidently incorrect, absolutely insane statement about the 2020s that the poster will then argue vehemently about in the replies]"
