A cravat I made not too long ago

The fabric I used for this was soft, so crafting this nifty piece came to mind

Probably could've made a neck or bow tie from it, but I like cravats more. Plus, they could use the attention with how outshined they are by the first two ties

Love how we can all definitely say “FUCK the Victorians” but also steal their fashion/aesthetics just like they did with other cultures

Do you know the history of hat pins? They’re quite fascinating. They could be used as self defense from unwanted advances & the mark warns others of that person’s intentions! Plus, they’re cute 😉 - MG 📖🖋️

Day Dress

c.1855

England

This type of widely protruding skirt that appeared around the middle of the 19th century came to be known later under the name of the "crinoline style." As can be seen with this dress, large design motifs proved immensely effective on these voluminous skirts. The border pattern here is wood-block printed and repeats every 20.6 cm. Compared to small-scale designs, large patterns require a solid technique to avoid misalignment of the print colors. Considering that this mixed fabric of silk and wool is a material hard to print on, this dress with its bright and cheerful colors is a particularly fine example on how much cloth printing techniques had evolved.

Dress recreation • Credit: The Dreamstress. The blogger wore her Jeanne Samary dress to an Impressionist art exhibition. Notice the image on her fan.

Pierre Auguste Renoir (French, ) • Portrait of the actress Jeanne Samary (1857-1890) • 1878 • Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russia

I love this 1870s style of a formal dress and I'm always surprised by the skill and creativity of current-day seamstresses who not only recreate dresses worn by portrait subjects but also model the dresses at appropriate events. It makes me wish I could sew!

As much as I'm enjoying re-visiting 19th century fashion after many years, my main interest is still with the art itself and often, the people portrayed therein.

So, who was Jeanne Samary? She was a beautiful, young actress with the Comédie-Française, who caught Renoir's eye. Her ambition was to compete for dramatic roles such as those offered Sarah Bernhardt. These roles were better paying and more prestigious than comedy.

Renoir would eventually paint Jeanne a dozen or so times. Many of those paintings are now masterpieces of Impressionist art.
