An Edwardian evening gown reimagined for the #MetGala with a longer train, flowers about the head or a grey veil, embracing its decay with a tattered and seaweed-like long train. Very Ophelia with its references to water and a weedy bouquet.

My latest blog post. Pretty as a picture: an 1880s jacket that looks like it came from an Impressionist painting.

I'm a small account and greatly appreciate new readers! 💙

How long have women been saving their bridesmaid dresses? You know, the ones your friend insisted you could wear again? This one is 100 years old & was probably worn by my grandmother or her sister. And it's actually pretty enough to wear again! https://www.instagram.com/...

What do you do when you finally have a non-academic, non-music article published in a national magazine only to have the magazine go out of publication the same day? Post it on SM.

I decided to rent an old favorite movie, Arthur (1981), with Dudley Moore and Liza Minelli. I honestly didn't expect it to hold up, but it's still absolutely delightful. #1980s #1980smovies

Our local indie theater is showing films that should have won an Oscar but didn't. It was so great to see that a 17-year-old film could still almost sell out the space and to hear everyone laughing out loud to a film most of us have memorized.

Latest blog post of a cultural and fashion history wrapped in memoir:

"This incredibly-structured, black taffeta gown held a mystery. I couldn’t write about it until it was solved."

Blog post: 19th-century skating for women. Beyond the benefits of exercise and courting, skating offered freedom of movement, of distancing themselves from the confines of domestic life, and the rewards of their ever-increasing independence. https://www.instagram.com/...

From a family collection: Victorian sportswear.

But what was the sport?

I joined on February 14, so this is not quite my first post, but I still think it’s appropriate.

This 19th-century outfit was type of sportswear, but it was just by chance that I figured that out. https://www.instagram.com/...

My Mom dressed for riding (Yellowstone Park), hoping to catch a cowboy's eye in her styled hair, cat-eye shades, & red lipstick.

Oh, Regent of Webs, revered by Spiders.

Dark creatures defer, wilting before her contemptuous eye.

So take heed and avert thy gaze, lest thou be engulfed in the shades the evening...
