How many of you ladies have experienced the irritation of someone stepping on your train or your foot at a dance? Well, here’s one extreme reaction from the time, at least according to the February 5, 1898 issue of the Illustrated Police News… 🙂
New Addition To The Collection…
Ruby red cashmere, fur, and lace addition to our museum collection. I confess…I tried her on and twirled! 🙂
In The Works…
After a long winter of client work, I can finally share the specialty stuff, repurposing extant pieces from our museum collection. First step is to assess condition and strengthen, if need be. I’m seeing an 1890s day suit out of this silk faille and rare (all) silk velvet!
Dreaming of Spring…
Dreaming of an Impressionist Spring, with dappled sunlight and miles of sheer cotton ruffles…how many days of winter left?
Souvenirs of Paris…
Our last Paris shopping trip included tickets to the amazing Toulouse-Lautrec exhibit at the Petit Palais, and we’ve had the 1890s on our mind ever since!
