Continuing the floral theme, #ootd is this 1956 Marie-Louise Carven dress. Carven was a French designer known for her clothing for petite women with lightweight fabrics, as seen here. The dress is made of cotton lace and tulle, with a 24.4 waist, about a size 0-2. #Fashionhistory

Silk imports surge in Florence in 1343 as elite wardrobes lean harder into luxury fabrics—fueling local weaving workshops and sharpening class divides that city authorities struggle to regulate. #FashionHistory

In the mid #1930s Mme Grès used a figured satin to create this evening jacket, all the while reminding me of the proportions of the c18th riding jackets. It has the same turned back cuffs & distinctive shape but was apparently inspired by jackets of Balinese dancers @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Beadnet dress: A 4,500-year-old ancient Egyptian funeral 'gown' that was in vogue during the Old Kingdom This rare example of an ancient Egyptian beaded dress was likely crafted specifically for a woman's funeral.

Would wear! Gucci did a collection in 2006ish that looked similar or heavily influenced by ancient Egypt.

                  "Елегія Риму"
Образ жінки в традиціях італійського Ренесансу (XVI ст.). Про це свідчать її пишна зачіска, багатошарове намисто та витончений профіль, що є характерними рисами тогочасної моди.

"Елегія Риму" Образ жінки в традиціях італійського Ренесансу (XVI ст.). Про це свідчать її пишна зачіска, багатошарове намисто та витончений профіль, що є характерними рисами тогочасної моди.

                      "Elegy of Rome" 
A wondrous vision rose before mine eyes — not as a fleeting memory, but as a reflection in the alchemical mirror of time, where the past fadeth not into oblivion, but bideth its hour until a gaze lighteth upon it once more. And this befell in Rome, the Eternal City, where every stone treasureth more than a mortal tongue can utter.
I behold this image and descry a lady of high degree, most radiant and noble, fashioned in the canons of the Renaissance, which hath not passed away but endureth — in every profile, in every line, in every glance. Her tresses are pompous and subtly entwined, like a diadem invisible, crowning not worldly power but sovereign virtue. Her necklace, manifold and rich, wrought of oriental pearls and precious gems, gloweth with a soft lustre, not to beguile, but to affirm the majesty of her spirit.
Her profile — exquisite, as if graven upon antique medals — is turned not toward me, but as if into another ethereal dimension, where all moments are already consummated and yet but only commencing.
— “By what wind hath thy soul been cast upon my shores, O wandering pilgrim?” she whispered, without turning, her voice as sweet as the echo of a forgotten lute.
— “I am but a humble captive of thy beauty,” I replied, inclining my head. “I have come only to consume away in the radiance of thy majesty.”
— “Then have a care,” she spake with a sigh scarce heard. “In Rome, even a chance glance may turn into eternal love... or into eternal stone.”
And then I perceived: this vision is no elegy for things bygone. ’Tis a cantilena of that which never passeth away.

                     "Елегія Риму"
Дивна візія постала перед очима моїми — не яко спомин, а яко відбиток ув алхімічнім дзеркалі часу, де минувшина не щезає в небуття, а лише чекає, допоки на неї знову звернуть погляд. І було се у Римі, граді вічнім, де кожен камінь пам’ятає боліє, ніж здатне виректи слово смертного.
Зрю на сей образ і бачу жону пресвітлу та вельможну, сотворену у канонах Відродження, що не минуло, а триває — у кожнім профілі, у кожній лінії, у кожнім погляді. Зачіска її препишна, хитромудро сплетена, мов діадема невидима, що не владу, а чесноти вінчає. Намисто ж многосложне, з перлів оринтальських та каміння коштовного, тихо сяє, не зваблюючи, а потверджуючи маєтність духу.
Профіль її — витончений, мов на античних медялях викарбуваний, звернений не до мене, а ніби в інший вимір етерний, де всі миті вже звершились і водночас лише зачинаються.
— «Яким вітром прибило вашу душу до моїх берегів, о блудний мандрівче?» — прошепотіла вона, не обертаючись, і голос її був солодким, мов відлуння забутої лютні.
— «Я лиш смиренний полонений вашої краси, — відказав я, схиляючи голову. — Прийшов, аби згоріти у променях вашої величі».
— «То бережіться, — мовила вона з ледь чутним зітханням. — У Римі навіть випадковий погляд здатен обернутися на вічне кохання... або на вічне каміння».
І збагнув я тоді: образ сей — не елегія про минувшину. Се кантилена про те, що ніколи не минає.

Museum photo of a three-piece beachwear outfit in black silk and cotton, consisting of a dress, trousers, and bonnet.
The bonnet has a small trail/capelet to cover the neck and shoulders at the sides and rear. It is edged in white, which accentuates the frilly cut all the way around the face. It is slightly peaked at the front, for more shading from the Sun.
The dress is a simple cut. cinched in at the waist, with full length sleeves, tight cuffs, and an A-line skirt to knee length. The neckline is deep and v-shaped, with a white blouse beneat.
Trousers are gathered just below the knee, and look quite loose.

Beachwear, France, 1900

This is lovely, especially the bonnet. Apparently these were not necessarily meant for swimming in - just for wearing at the beach. Corsetry and stockings may still have been expected for modesty. Fun outfit anyhow.

I remember seeing this dress at close quarters during a research fellowship at the Fashion Museum in Bath many years ago. The oak leaves and acorns are subtly outlined in silk cord and chenille, the whole a vision in pale buttery yellow. House of Worth c1903 #FashionMuseumBath #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The construction of this sleeveless 1967 day dressby Balenciaga is fascinating. It is like an optical illusion, with different layers and levels that emerge from different seams and shadows. I’d like one in every shade please #museobalenciaga #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

                     "Slender Lady" 
In the year of 1910, when the Art Nouveau style reigned supreme and the world, seemingly weary of the rigours of past ages, had learned once more to be light of heart, it was my fortune to encounter a lady who did not so much walk as glide between the moments.
The female form in those days revealed itself in exquisite silhouettes that did not constrain movement, but rather seemed born of it. And behold: her figure—slender as a line drawn by a master’s hand without hesitation, without undue pressure.
A wide-brimmed hat, most lavishly adorned with plumage, rose above her like a private cloud that did not weigh her down, but followed—obediently, yet with pride. Those feathers lay not still, but seemed possessed of a life of their own, catching the faintest breath of air that one might not even feel oneself.
She carried herself with ease—not as those who display their beauty, but as those so accustomed to it that they no longer perceive its weight. And I mused: was it her attire that rendered her so graceful, or was it she herself who taught the fabric how to move aright?

                "Леді-стрункість"
Літа 1910-го, коли стиль модерн панував і світ, здавалося, втомившись від суворості минулих віків, навчився знову бути легким, довелось мені стріти леді, що не стільки йшла, скільки ковзала поміж митями.
Жіноча подоба в ті часи являлася у витончених силуетах, що не обмежували руху, а мовби народжувались разом із ним. І се ж бо бачимо: постать її — струнка, мов лінія, проведена рукою майстра без вагання, без зайвого натиску.
Крисаня широка, пір’ям пребагато оздоблена, здіймається над нею, немов власна хмара, що не тисне, а слідує — слухняно й водночас гордо. Пір’я ж те не лежить нерухомо, а ніби живе своїм життям, ловлячи найменший подих повітря, якого й сам не завжди відчуваєш.
Вона ж трималась легко — не як ті, що демонструють красу, а як ті, що до неї звикли настільки, що вже не помічають її ваги. І подумалось мені: чи то вбрання її робить такою граційною, чи сама вона навчає тканину рухатись правильно?
