"old fashion"

By on maandag, april 06, 2009

History has always been a great inspiration ad it will always be.

I found these amazing pictures in a book of the Kyoto costume institute.
I just had to show them, fashion was so much more back then, than it's now, just look at these pictures (I haven't got the time to scan them all in, so this is it for now, but I'll post more in time)

From left to the right.
Pink Lyons brocade with stripe ans floral pattern. self-fabric an fly trim; single-flounced pagoda sleeves; matching petticoat.
1770-1775
Yellow Lyons brocade with white floral stripe; compères with buttons; doubleflounced pagoda sleeves; matching petticoat.
1770-1775
Blue Lyons silk cannelé with stripe and floral ribbon motif; compères with buttons; double-flounced pagoda sleeves; matching petticoat.

And here are some details:
I've always had a thing with sleeves, aren't these beautiful?
White linen chintz with blue plant motif; compères with buttons; matching petticoat.
1770
Absolutely the most beautiful gloves I've ever seen.

    Thanks for the comment! I love your blog. How gorgeous are these dresses. Imagine how long it must have taken to hand stitch everything!

    And those sleeves are soooooo lovely!
