YSL’s 1966 Le Smoking jacket and the SS 1971 collection, Libération, both put the design house on the map for women’s tailoring and continue to influence Saint Laurent’s collections today. fashionhistory.fitnyc.edu/1970-1979/#fashion#highfashion#fashionhistory#couture#suit#androgyny

Slightly different Footwear Friday ... I am perenially annoyed by arguments that only extremely high-end garments have survived through the ages. Museum (and private) collections are actually full of worn, dirty, unromantic things - they just don't tend to be used in exhibitions. #FashionHistory

Technically I'm not 100% sure this one was actually worn for a wedding, but that's the provenance. "Pensée" blue/violet silk, supposed to have been worn by Julia Kennedy Coolidge in 1865 but more likely from later in the decade. chapmanmuseum.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/AB...#FashionHistory

Brown silk wedding dress worn by Etta Reed West in 1886; IIRC, she made it herself as she was a local dressmaker? chapmanmuseum.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/D8...#FashionHistory

Bodice of brown silk faille.

Extremely complicated Natural Form gown in plum taffeta, worn by Jennie Smith Goodman in 1878: chapmanmuseum.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/45...#FashionHistory (The pattern gets a bit hinky in the front of the skirt, I got very stressed trying to figure it out.)

I did not manage to work in links to some of the dresses I patterned at the Chapman, but I should go back and put them in. Wedding suit worn by Elizabeth Herlihy Callahan in 1906: chapmanmuseum.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/0B...#FashionHistory
