Some of my favorite paintings from the museum trip with a few 16th-18th century ones I’ve never seen before! One was even painted by a woman. And the ratio of women’s portraits to other paintings was particularly high here. From the .

The School of Historical Dress has announced the dates for the new "BLUE" exhibition in its series "Our Collections by Colour".

One star attraction will be the 18th century mantua that I and other students helped re-construct last month.

I will be visiting the exhibition next week and will finally be able to share 'final reveal' photos then!

I visited the exhibition at the V&A Dundee a few days ago and was very impressed with the broad range of objects displayed as well as by the diverse stories and viewpoints expressed through the interpretative materials. Here is a small selection of garments that caught my eye.

This exhibition runs through Sunday, 14 January 2024.

Peplum is in place and lining is attached at center front. Still to do: sleeves and collar, and whip stitching the lining over the peplum seam. Then it's over to @maco for finishing (buttonholes and stitching sleeve lining to sleeve facing) while I work on Maco's saque. We still have hopes of being done by Saturday.

Sleeves need another ironing, but they're basted in place and fit is still good. I'll extend the dart points a little cause they're a bit pointy right now.

I'll ease the sleeves in as much as I can when I stitch them, but it doesn't matter a ton for the lining. For the wool, I will try to steam them into shape before I do the final stitches.

Would anyone in or etc know where you can get reviews of the various available? Mostly what’s actually in them - actual patterns or detail images or quotes/diagrams from contemporary sources etc - as opposed to their ‘quality’. It’s really hard to judge if the has what you need when you can only see the covers on the internet and descriptions are frequently vague at best.

"My new research article has just been published online by
@womenshistrev. It explores the work of the women (including early mantua makers) who made fashionable outer dress for Queens Catherine of Braganza and Mary II in the 1680s and 1690s in London!"

“Ogilvie: A ghost story. Your father didn't tell me it was a ghost story.

Edith Cushing: Oh it's... it's not. It's more a story with a in it. The ghost is just a metaphor.

Ogilvie: A metaphor?

Edith Cushing: For the past.”

"A house as old as this one becomes, in time, a living thing. It starts holding onto things... keeping them alive when they shouldn't be. Some of them are good; some of them bad... Some should never be spoken about again.”

Thinking back on the work I did in 2021 for the online costume collection, including a talk I gave about Spitalfields Silk in the Scottish Highlands in the 18th Century.

I will be pursuing a line of enquiry prompted by this research, for my masters dissertation this coming year.

(Continuing @18thCent_Kitty traditions to try and find more lovers here...)

Rather than sharing an extant gown in a museum collection, here's the one I just finished making myself. Well, I say "finished"... needs hemming, cuffs and possbily a little trim. :)
