Ahhh Christian got hold of the iconic Butterick 5710. Now out of print you'll have to find a copy on etsy or ebay unless we can find some in the stock room.

One of the most popular objects @InvMAG is the Isabella McTavish wedding dress worn for her wedding to Malcolm Fraser in 1785. It is the only #18thc woman’s #tartan dress known to survive. #Outlander vibes anyone? #fashionhistory

More and more brands seem to be realising the importance of the archive. The fall/winter 2020 #Courrèges coat heavily referenced the designer’s original design from 1967, without the space age silver belt. Vive le musée!! @cincyartmuseum @voguemagazine #fashionhistory
