This is the kind of artistry I like, the epically hand stitched detailing of an early 1820s figured silk gown in a rich milk chocolate shade. It includes a myriad of self coloured embellishments consisting of sooooo much couching. Via #coraginsburg #fashionhistory

In the Library (1872) by Auguste Toulmouche (French artist, lived 1829–1890). Some serious reading going on, I suspect she's forgetten she's supposed to be going out.

My brand new book, The Royal Family vs 'The Crown', is out now. Episode by episode, I delve into what's fact and what's definitely fiction in the hit Netflix show!

This stop-dead-in-your-steps dress retains its silk shine & shimmer after over 250 yrs! Robe à la Française, 1740-60, silk satin w/silk & metallic-thread Today we rarely think of creating clothing meant to last a decade, let alone centuries. via @LACMA #saynotofastfashion

If dresses were sweets, this #1750s robe a la française would make the perfect sherbet lemon. It practically fizzes and zings in sharp stripes, a fresh spring gown in which to herald lighter days #coraginsburg #fashionhistory

I am currently fathoms deep in research around the identity of court dressmakers & clothing worn at court presentations. Here is a 1907 survival worn by Ann Bloomfield Gamble complete with the requisite feathers, veil & train. Made by Redfern,Edwardian extravaganza @FIDMMuseum

Getting ready for #Thanksgiving with this turkey-legged pelisse. It's an 1835-1840 pelisse (essentially an overcoat, originally inspired by hussar military uniforms) made of caramel brown silk and "dark purple" velvet appliques. @colonialwmsburg #Fashionhistory #ootd

I can only imagine the hours that were required of these satin trimmed scallop edges that swoop their way across the outlines of this late #1830s gown. Chosen to compliment the palette of florals it is a subtly effective addition @TheWadsworth #fashionhistory

A garment with this much detail is one rooted in a variety of skills. Dating to the mid 1820s it combines hand sewing, padded satin rouleaux, pleating & wool tambour work. There are decisions aplenty here stitched by unknown hands @NtlMuseumsScot @KelvingroveArt #fashionhistory

A garland of spring flowers have been laid via the needle around the neck of this lightweight cream wool early #1880s dress. It is a hopeful nod to the new season, the promise of blooms and leaves and bright days, all painted by stitch @philamuseum #fashionhistory

#Pintucks have been deployed to striking effect here in a c1908 gown cut in a princess (one piece) style. Whilst lacy hem inserts and the #embellished collar add detail high and low, the waist is gathered in with rows of tucks @rijksmuseum #fashionhistory

The familiar comfort of Sense and Sensibility is seeing me through wet days and workloads. The c1811 gown would have danced through candlelit spaces at the same time that the book was first published and Elinor and Marianne explored the Devonshire landscape @metmuseum

Victoria looked at the seventy-two-year-old woman who sat before her, lovable and cuddly in chiffon and pearls, and wanted to shake her. Still, for Victoria’s own sanity, she had to try. “I’m not marrying anyone in twenty-one days.” #book #eBook
